Purpose : The objective of this study is to figure out what kind of conflicts middle school girls have with their same sex friends and what they experience and learn through the conflicts and to provide primary data with the middle school girls who are suffering from conflicts with their friends. Furthermore, this study aims to know how they form an intimate friendship with their same sex friends through the experience of conflicts.
Method: One of quality research methods of hermeneutic phenomenology by Max Van Manen was adapted for this study and 17 girls who are in the 1st ∼ 3rd grade of a middle school were intensively interviewed from August to November in 2007 and their poems and pictures were collected, too.
Result : As a result of analyzing what the middle school girls had experience through the conflicts with their same sex friends, 9 ultimate themes have been basically categorized. ‘They tend to get estranged from their close same sex friends who treat them with a careless and rude manner’, ‘They hope that their same sex friends associate more intimately with them than with any others’, ‘The number of friends could be a cause of a conflict’, ‘They tend to have an antipathy against a friend who consider them as a competitor or a rival’, ‘Even though they feel the state of lassitude with their same sex friends, they have a tendency to avoid and ignore it’, ‘Try to get it over thinking the troubles that they would get in the future’, ‘They have hard time enduring the situation of conflicts with their same sex friends’, ‘A third person could help them to solve the problems with their same sex friends’, ‘The conflicts with their same sex friends could result in a better relationship in the long run’.
