more than forty thousand readers told us that they looked for in close friendships,what they expected for friends,what they were willing to give in return,and how satisfied they were with the quality of their friendships.the expectations give little comfort to social critics.
friendship appears to be a unique form of individual bonding.unlike marriage or the ties that bind parents and children,it is not defined or regulated by law.unlike other social roles that we are expected to play-as citizens,employees,members of professional societies and other organizations-it has its own principle,which is to promote feelings of warmth,trust.love,and affection between two people.
the survey on friendship appeared in the march issue of psychology today.the findings confirm that issues of trust and betrayal are central to friendship.they also suggest that our readers do not look for friends only among those who are most like them,but find many who differ in race,religion,and ethnic backgroud.anguably the most important conclusion that emerges from the date,however,is not something that we found-but what we did not.
