Until recently, inadequate measures of affiliation need and relationship closened hindered investigations into the social development of adolescents. For example, assumptions about gender differences (douvan & adelson, 1966 , gilligan, 1982) and age - related changes (dunphy, 1972 , erikson, 1968, newman & newman, 1976) in affiliation need and relationship closeness have remained virtually untested. To better understand adolescent social behaviour and test these assumptions, recently developed measures of affiliation need and interpersonal closeness were used to examine seventy - four 18 - to 20 - year -olds. In support of erikson's theory, need for social comparison declined with age for both sexes, However, in support of gilligan's theory, not only were females more attached to their partners, but these gender differences were the most pronounced for the 18 - year olds. Finally, dunphy's (1972) assumption that adolescents' need for stimulation peaks around age 18 or 19 and then declines, and newman and newman's (1976) position that need for emotional support declines in later adolescence, held true - but only for females.
