单选题 Man is a gregarious creature. Companionship plays an important role in human development at all stages in life. The hours that a child plays in company with his peers expand his life space, help him to develop his physical skills, and provide him with experience in getting along with others. Contact with peers becomes the primary means for the adolescent to achieve independence from parents and the attainment of status as an individual in his own right. Finding a congenial social group is one of the major development tasks of adulthood. In the later years of life, the loss of the loved ones through death, the preoccupation of sons and daughters with their own adult problems, the decline of physical powers, and the loss of occupation all serve to make the search for companionship of lifelong importance in the satisfaction of fundamental psychological needs. As long as one lives, adjustment will be conditioned by the capacity for, and skill in the conduct of companionship. It is necessary that you practice effective means for getting along with your peers so that negative attitude will not be aroused in others. The capacity for establishing effective relationships with others results from social contacts, not primarily from what one learns out of books. You need to preserve friendships. In college this means the participation in at least one club or organization and in at least some extracurricular campus activities. This participation will aid you in improving your social skills and will provide you with desirable companionship. In seeking satisfaction from companionship, you also need to cultivate a deep friendship with several special persons with whom you can share your triumphs and disappointment. It is a psychological fact that telling your troubles to another person affords release from psychological tensions, provides feedback so as to give you a truer and more valid perspective of your problems, and aids you in more realistically resolving your problems. True, special friends will overlook your shortcomings and at the same time assist you in evaluating and overcoming your difficulties. The benefits of such special companionship cannot be all one-sided or there would be no friendships. Your special friends have the right to expect and receive these same satisfactions from you. This being so, you are contributing to their mental health at the same time that they are contributing to yours. Thus, from such close companionship you receive the double benefit of feeling that you are worthy and have personal significance and that your need to help others is being met. Social competence fosters economic and occupational efficiency because our work is surrounded and conditioned by the existence of others. You will recall that the chief reason for job failure is not lack of knowledge of how to do the job but inability to get along well with others.
