Abstract
Late adolescents' precollege concerns about losing existing relationsh ips and making new friendships were found to be significant mediating variables between self-esteem and the satisfaction of involvement in p recollege and new college friendships 10 weeks into the first semester of college. High precollege concerns predicted greater reliance on pr ecollege friends for social self-esteem resources.
