| Abstract: | Finds that college students were attracted to peers having similar social skill levels; pairs of friends had similar levels of communication skills related to the expression and management of emotional states; and pairs of friends having low levels of communication skills were just as satisfied with their relationships as were pairs of friends having high levels of skills.
