Abstract
ABSTRACT Do men and women have different ideals for their friendships? What do men and women experience when their actual friendship experiences fall short of their ideals? The authors of the current study investigated gender differences in real–ideal same-sex best friendships and friendship discrepancy scores. Correlates of friendship discrepancies were also examined. For this purpose, a sample of 382 college students completed the McGill Friendship Questionnaire (M. J. Mendelson & F. E. Aboud, 1999 Markey, P. M. and Markey, C. N. 2007. Romantic ideals, romantic obtainment, and relationship experiences: The complementarity of interpersonal traits among romantic partners. Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, 24: 517–533. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]), the Friendship Conflict Scale (M. Demir & L. A. Weitekamp, 2007 Demir, M., zen, A., Achoui, M., Baduni, O., Bilyk, N.Boholst, F. 2010. Friendship and happiness across cultures Manuscript submitted for publication [Google Scholar]), the Need Satisfaction Scale (J. G. La Guardia, R. M. Ryan, C. E. Couchman, & E. L. Deci, 2000 Knobloch-Fedders, L. M. and Knudson, R. M. 2009. Marital ideals and the newly married: A longitudinal analysis. Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, 26: 249–271. [Google Scholar]), and the PANAS (D. Watson, L. A. Clark, & A. Tellegen, 1988 Walen, H. R. and Lachman, M. E. 2000. Social support and strain from partner, family, and friends: Costs and benefits for men and women in adulthood. Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, 17: 5–30. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]). Results showed that (a) the real and ideal best friendships of women were higher in quality and lower in conflict when compared to those of men; and (b) men's discrepancy scores for friendship quality were significantly higher when compared to women, whereas no differences were obtained on friendship conflict discrepancy scores. Findings also revealed that for both women and men, discrepancy scores were negatively related to friendship satisfaction, happiness, and satisfaction of basic psychological needs. The authors discuss the findings in light of theory, highlight ways to address relationship discrepancies, and make suggestions for future research.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
