Associations between friendship quality and (A) Childhood adversity and (B) Psychosocial functioning.

Note. Participants with greater subjectively perceived friendship quality (A) did not retrospectively self-reported less negative CA (p = .062) but (B) showed better psychosocial functioning (p < .001). Index scores of CA comprise two weighted principal components (PCs) and index scores of psychosocial functioning comprise three weighted PCs, both oblique rotated. Both y-axes represent factor scores with M = 0 and SD = 1. Brighter shading (green) of individual data points represents (A) less severe CA and (B) better psychosocial functioning on each graph respectively. The black lines show the best-fitting linear regression lines, and the shaded regions around them represent the 95% confidence intervals.
