The development of intimate same- and other-sex friendships in Arab children and adolescents in Israel was investigated in relation to their perceived parenting styles. It was hypothesized that girls would show higher levels of intimacy than boys, and that cross-sex intimacy in both groups would increase with age, whereas same-sex intimate friendship maintains rather stable over the school years. We hypothesized further that intimate friendship would be contingent more readily on perceived parental authoritative style rather than on either permissive or authoritarian styles. Participants were 723 Arab students drawn from four schools, and from the 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th grades. The Parental Authority Questionnaire and Intimate Friendship Scale were employed as measures. Findings indicated that girls were more intimate with their female friends than boys were with their male friends, especially in the higher grades, replicating previous studies. However, boys tended to score higher than girls on intimacy with the other gender. Girls equaled their level of intimacy only at the 11th grade. These findings suggest that traditional societies may foster specific characteristics of intimate friendship. A novel finding is the central role of the authoritative parenting style in determining intimate friendships. Results are discussed in terms of universal aspects of friendship and of their expression in the investigated cultural setting.

<p>Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif yang bertujuan untuk menguji dan mendapatkan data secara empiris mengenai hubungan <em>intimate friendship </em> dengan <em>self disclosure</em> pada mahasiswa pengguna media sosial Facebook di Fakultas Psikologi Universitas Medan Area angkatan tahun 2013. Sejalan dengan landasan teori, maka diajukan hipotesa yang berbunyi ada hubungan negatif antara <em>intimate friendship </em>dengan <em>self disclosure</em>. Dimana semakin tinggi <em>intimate friendship </em>mahasiswa, maka semakin rendah <em>self disclosure</em>. Penelitan ini melibatkan 87 Mahasiswa/i fakultas psikologi angkatan tahun 2013 di Universitas Medan Area sebagai subjek penelitian. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan teknik <em>purposive sampling. </em>Penelitian ini menggunakan instrumen skala likert untuk skala <em>intimate friendship </em>dan skala <em>self disclosure</em>. Skala <em>intimate friendship</em>  disusun berdasarkan dimensi-dimensi menurut Sharabany (2008) yaitu: kejujuran dan spontanitas , kepekaan dan pengertian, kelekatan, eksklusifitas, memberi dan berbagi, penerimaan dan pengorbanan, kegiatan yang sama, kepercayaan dan kesetiaan. Skala <em>self disclosure</em> disusun berdasarkan dimensi-dimensi menurut (Devito, 1986) yaitu: <em>amount</em>/ kuantitas, valensi, ketepatan dan kejujuran, intensi, dan <em>intimacy.</em> Berdasarkan analisis data, diperoleh hasil terdapat hubungan negatif antara <em>intimate friendship </em>dengan <em>self disclosure</em>. Hasil ini dibuktikan dengan koefisien korelasi, dimana rxy = - 0.372 ; p = 0.000 &lt; 0.05. Nilai koefisien determinasi (R <em>square</em>) penelitian dengan nilai sebesar 0.138. Dapat diartikan bahwa variabel <em>intimate friendship</em> mempengaruhi <em>self disclosure</em> sebesar 13.8%.

Chapter 2 argues that the Ladies’ Home Journal fashioned white women’s culture as a mediating force for racial sorority—an imagined sisterhood that provided the comforting sense of familiarity across distance—while also responding to a perceived crisis in women’s intimate friendship by providing detailed guidance for befriending. I argue that both scales of white social practice (sorority and intimate friendship) attached white women’s social forms to antiblackness. On the one hand, the Journal infused its imagined sisterhood with a deep sense of white supremacy (through frequent use of racist humor, for instance), providing white women a compensation that at least partially made up for the harms produced by gender inequality. On the other hand, by revitalizing intraracial friendship as a necessary departure from antiseptic social life, the Journal engaged an Aristotelian politics of friendship in which the precondition for befriending (whiteness) naturalized itself as the precondition for citizenship.

Though much has been written about when paternalistic intervention is justified, and about how it is justified, much less has been written about who may do the intervening. This is a substantial lacuna in our understanding of the nature of justified paternalism. By examining the question of who it is that may most appropriately interfere with the course of our decision-making, we can learn something useful both about paternalism and about the nature of friendship.In this essay I will argue that friendship and paternalistic intervention are linked. Friendship of the close, intimate variety that I will be discussing is in part constituted by the fact that one friend is morally justified in interfering with the other’s (problematic) decisions. Intimate friendship involves a partial meshing of identities. This meshing of identities manifests itself in part by the liberties that one friend takes in guiding the life of the other. Paternalistic intervention between friends can thus be justified because it expresses the union of the friends, and because it preserves that union.

The article is devoted to the four letters written by Ausonius to Paulinus of Nola before the latter left Aquitania in 389 changing his style of life and provo­king the deep crisis of their intimate friendship (Epist. 17-20, ed. R.P.H. Green). Ausonius writes to his pupil, admirer and friend about literary theory and practice, thanks for the gifts and favours, asks for help in an hour of need, sends him new year’s wishes. The exchange of letters provided to the famous befriended poets an opportunity to participate in the jolly literary games and to share mutual respect, admiration and love.

Banuroja is an acronym for “Bali, Nusa Tenggara, Gorontalo and Java”. From its naming identity, it appears that the community is heterogeneous both in terms of ethnicity, language, culture and religion. The heterogeneity of the people of Banuroja Village is actually an element that strengthens the harmony between them. There does not appear to be arrogance from followers of a particular religion, there is no excessive militancy, there is no intrigue to negate each other. This study shows that there are five aspects which are the key words of the Banuroja social harmony, namely (1) aspects of education and youth; (2) aspects of settlement and tradition; (3) aspects of work; (4) aspects of village government institutions; and (5) other aspects such as the prominent figures / religious elites. The driving aspects of integration on the one hand are actually at the same time a trigger for conflict on the other side. The author argues that the people of Banuroja have succeeded in showing that harmony is not just passive co-existence, not an artificial harmony. Living in diversity, in the context of Banuroja, actually being actualized by active co-existence in intimate friendship dissolves in the specialness of each rite without denouncing the other rites.
