Definition
- For many persons, both friends and family are important for fulfillment of social needs and maintenance of well-being throughout the life cycle. Yet, by late adulthood, people vary in the degree to which friends are available in their social networks as a result of personal choices in friendship as well as circumstances that support or inhibit the development and maintenance of friendship.
