Early Attachment as a Pathway to Adolescent Peer Competence.

Weinfield, Nancy S.; And Others

Journal of Research on Adolescence, v7 n3 p241-65 1997

Studied adolescent personal and interpersonal characteristics, including social competence and thoughts on friendship and romantic interests during a camp reunion. Found that concurrent interest in relationships is a stronger predictor of social competence for participants with anxious histories, although participants with secure histories were more socially competent overall.
