The effects on friendship networks on adolescent depressive symptoms

Article Abstract:

The study investigates whether those who are integrated into friendship networks have better mental health, as measured by number of depressive symptoms, using a variety of network measures of integration. It is shown that the relationship between having more friends and fewer depressive symptoms is largely mediated by a sense of belonging and that social integration promotes mental health by inducing positive feelings about one's relationships with others in the society.
