Utilizing a person-centered approach, the present study explored two-hundred and sixty-five adolescents' reports of self-disclosure, help, conflict, and conflict resolution with a close friend to investigate variability in profiles of friendship quality, whether gender and gender homophily and ethnicity homophily of friends are associated with profile membership, and how the profiles relate to feelings of school belonging. A latent profile analysis revealed three profiles of friendship: an "ideal" friendship profile (29.7%), a "realistic" friendship profile (50.8%), and a "somewhat problematic" friendship profile (19.5%). Compared to adolescents in the "somewhat problematic" profile, female adolescents were more likely to have a "realistic" or "ideal" friendship profile than males, and adolescents with friends of different ethnicity were more likely to be in the "realistic" friendship profile. Adolescents with the "ideal" and "realistic" friendship profiles reported the highest feelings of school belonging; those in the "somewhat problematic" profile reported the lowest school belonging. The unique understanding that attending to profiles that incorporate multiple dimensions of friendship quality to understanding the social and academic experiences of adolescents is discussed.
