这项研究调查了儿童的游戏如何随儿童性别、游戏伙伴的性别以及他们是否成对或成群地玩耍而变化。观察儿童(平均年龄 = 52 个月)自由玩耍的情况。数据显示,男孩的同性游戏比女孩的游戏更主动、更有力量,远离成年人,也更刻板,而且这种模式在团体中比在双人中普遍被夸大。孩子们很少只与异性孩子(异性同龄人)玩耍,但大约四分之一的互动涉及两种性别的孩子(混合性别同龄人)。与同性或二元异性游戏相比,混合性别游戏更有可能发生在成年人附近,并且在主动-强力和刻板的活动选择中处于中等水平。研究结果证实,儿童在同龄群体中的经历因儿童性别和游戏伙伴的性别而异。
This research examined how children's play varied as a function of the sex of the child, the sex of the play partner, and whether they played in dyads or groups. Children (mean age = 52 months) were observed during their free play. Data revealed that boys' same-sex play was more active-forceful, further from adults, and more stereotyped than girls' play, and that this pattern was generally exaggerated in groups versus dyads. Children rarely played only with children of the other sex (other-sex peers), but about one fourth of their interactions involved children of both sexes (mixed-sex peers). Compared with same- or dyadic other-sex play, mixed-sex play was more likely to occur near adults, and was intermediate in active-forceful and stereotyped activity choices. Findings confirmed that children's experiences in peer groups vary depending on the sex of the child and sex of play partners.
