2022, LinguaCitation Excerpt :Our study suggests that having friends at school can directly affect the reported distress scores. Overall, this finding is coherent with the so-called ‘friendship protection hypothesis’, which found various proof (see, e.g., the longitudinal analyses in Boulton et al., 1999; Kendrick et al., 2012) that having the support of friends diminishes the chances of victimization. As for the school importance factor, this pattern supports both factual and perceptual explanations, as friends may provide both concrete defence and psychological adjustment when facing predicaments.
