The text shown in italics below was omitted from the last sentence beginning on page 315 of Degirmencioglu, Urberg, Tolson, and Richard's "Adolescent Friendship Networks: Continuity and Change Over a School Year".

Secondly, friendships are dynamic processes that state-of-the-art approaches can only take snapshots of (e.g., two data points in a school year in the present study) and requiring mutual choices would miss friendships that are "in the works": An adolescent may consider the other a friend at Time 1 and the other adolescent does so, say, only a month later. Indeed, if an unreciprocated nomination is stable over time in the present data sets, the consistently chosen friend is very likely to reciprocate at Time 2.
