Abstract The current study aimed to explore how adolescents’ similarity in academic performance may influence the support-seeking relationship, and to examine the role of friendship in the mechanism. 1126 junior high school students in 36 classes were recruited by using a longitudinal design of one-year interval. The longitudinal social network analysis method was utilized to analyze the data. The results show that: (1) Students with similar academic performance are more likely to establish friendships and support-seeking relationships; (2) Similarity in academic performance could not only improve the establishment of the support-seeking relationship between adolescents directly, but also indirectly through the promotion of friendship.
