Background information
Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences and VU Amsterdam are conducting research into friendships between girls aged 13 to 15. For example, we look at how friends talk to each other about fun things they experience, but also about difficult or sad things. The researchers would like to learn more about what girls find important in conversations with their friends and how they help each other. Through this research other girls can learn to trust each other in a good way.
