Does Social Buffering Continue to be Effective Over the Peripubertal Period When Friends Share the Stressor Experience?

University of Minnesota·interventional·Posted Mar 17, 2020·Updated Feb 24, 2025

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Friend and target, Friend support, and 2 other interventions for Adolescent Behavior and Social Stress. Completed, enrolled 269 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this experiment is to determine whether social buffering by friends of stress physiology remains effective later in puberty when friends share the load versus when they provide support but are not undergoing the stressor with the target child. There are four conditions: (1) Friend and Target both undergo the stressor, (2) Friend provides support but does not undergo the stressor, (3) Unfamiliar Peer and Target undergo the stressor, and (4) Alone (no partner).
