对儿童适应中的性别差异部分受到气质差异和与同性同伴互动的影响的假设进行了检验。57名以白人为主的中产阶级学龄前儿童(29名男孩和28名女孩，男性年龄=54.5个月)参与了调查。对儿童的唤醒能力、问题行为和与同性同伴玩耍的倾向进行了测量。一学期后，对孩子的同伴地位进行了评估。分析表明，唤醒能力和同性同伴游戏相互作用，可以预测问题行为。对于高唤醒能力的男孩来说，与同性同龄人玩耍会增加问题行为。相比之下，与其他女孩一起玩耍的性欲强的女孩相对不太可能表现出问题行为。此外，唤醒能力和同性同伴游戏的交互作用预测了男孩(而不是女孩)的同伴地位，这种关系部分地被问题行为所中介。讨论了与性别有关的进程的作用。
The hypothesis that gender differences in children's adjustment is partially influenced by differences in temperament and interactions with same-sex peers was examined. Fifty-seven predominantly White, middle-class preschoolers (29 boys and 28 girls, M age = 54.5 months) participated. Measures were taken of children's arousability, problem behaviors, and tendencies to play with same-sex peers. A semester later, children's peer status was assessed. Analyses revealed that arousability and same-sex peer play interacted to predict problem behaviors. For boys high in arousability, play with same-sex peers increased problem behaviors. In contrast, arousable girls who played with other girls were relatively unlikely to show problem behaviors. Moreover, the interaction of arousability and same-sex peer play predicted boys' (but not girls') peer status, and this relation was partially mediated by problem behaviors. The role of gender-related processes is discussed.
