Primary use / Purpose:
Background:
The McGill Friendship Questionnaire – Friendship Functions (MFQ-FF) developed after the authors were involved in research on friendship in childhood and early adolescence (Aboud & Mendelson, 1996). The MFQ-FF seeks to examine 6 distinct friendship functions in late adolescence and adulthood. Individual friendships will vary in the degree to which they fulfill some or all of these functions.
Psychometrics:
The psychometric properties of the instrument have been examined by Mendelson and Aboud (1997). This unpublished manuscript is available below.
