Preadolescent friendships recalled by the young adult.
Recall of a preadolescent chumship was studied in two groups of young adults of different socioeconomic status. In both groups a preadolescent chum of the same sex was the norm (65.7% to 71.4%). For a substantial minority (3.4% to 11.4%), a chum of the opposite sex was reported.
