Question

According to Robert Selman, in which of the following stages in children's concepts of friendship do children (adolescents, and adults) understand that friendships grow and change as people change and that they may need different friends to satisfy different needs? A) Autonomous interdependence B) Momentary physical interaction C) Fair-weather cooperation D) Intimate and mutual sharing

Answer 1

A) Autonomous interdependence

Step-by-step explanation:

In the autonomous interdependence stage a person understands themselves and in turn what kind of friend they want. As a person grows with a certain set of friends they still do not know what kind of a person they are.

But as they grow old they realize what kind of person they are and what they want from a friend.

Hence, the question is referring to the Autonomous interdependence stage of friendship.
