采用一种新的访谈方法，对60名4至8岁儿童的玩伴选择中性别标签和游戏风格(男性或女性)的相对贡献进行了评估。在访谈中，当目标的性别标签和目标的游戏风格被呈现为独立的维度时，儿童在性别标签和游戏风格(包括玩具、乱七八糟的游戏和活动水平)的偏好上显示出预期的性别差异。然而，当目标的性别标签和目标的游戏风格被呈现为相互竞争的维度时，所有年龄段的男孩都选择了具有男性游戏风格的女性目标，而不是具有女性游戏风格的男性目标。相比之下，年龄较小的女孩(4-5岁)选择具有男性游戏风格的女性目标，而年龄较大的女孩(6-8岁)选择具有女性游戏风格的男性目标。这表明在儿童对同性玩伴的偏好发展中，性别标签和游戏风格的贡献可能存在性别差异。
The relative contribution of gender labels and play styles (masculine or feminine) in playmate selection was evaluated in 60 children between the ages of 4 and 8 years using a novel interview measure. In the interview, when targets' gender labels and targets' play styles were presented as independent dimensions, children showed predicted sex differences in preferences for gender labels and for play styles (including toys, rough-and-tumble play, and activity level). However, when targets' gender labels and targets' play styles were presented as competing dimensions, boys of all ages chose female targets with masculine play styles over male targets with feminine play styles. In contrast, younger girls (4-5-year-olds) chose female targets with masculine play styles, whereas older girls (6-8-year-olds) chose male targets with feminine play styles. This suggests possible sex differences in the contribution of gender labels and of play styles in the development of children's preferences for same-sexed playmates.
