本研究探讨了同性和跨性别四方游戏中的互动，特别是，如何投掷（和谈话）调整沿着与不同配置的球员。这个游戏是在瑞典一所多民族学校里，来自低收入家庭的有移民背景（叙利亚、库尔德、智利）的女孩和男孩之间进行的。这项研究调查了女孩在各种游戏环境中的身体状况，发现随着玩家配置的变化，女孩用来构建社会身份的身体动作形式也会发生变化。女孩们使用的是猛击--一种需要力量和肌肉力量的投掷方式，这种身体行为通常不被视为女性特征的一部分。同样的女孩改变了投掷（和语言）的风格，“像女孩一样投掷”，以淡化技能较低的女孩的身体技能。在跨性别游戏中，女孩（和男孩）开玩笑地嘲笑挑战性别意义，如男孩的统治和女孩的从属地位。这里研究的女孩在身体（或空间）方面没有受到限制，这一事实表明女性的身体有相当大的差异。总的来说，研究结果强调，女孩（和男孩）的身体的研究应该扎根于在特定的游戏环境中的互动的详细分析，注意嵌入在游戏中的文化和体制框架。
This study explores interaction in same-sex and cross-sex foursquare games, and, in particular, how throwing (and talk) are adjusted along with diverse configurations of players. The game was played among girls and boys with immigrant backgrounds (Syrian, Kurdish, Chilean) from low-income families in a multiethnic school setting in Sweden. The study investigates girls’ physicality across various game contexts, finding that as the configuration of players shifts, the forms of bodily actions the girls invoke to construct social identities shift as well. The girls used slams - ways of throwing that require force and muscular strength, physical behaviour that is not conventionally seen as part of femininity. The same girls altered throwing (and language) style, ‘throwing like a girl’, to downplay physical skills with less skilled girls. In cross-sex games, the girls (and the boys) playfully mock challenged gender meanings such as boys’ domination and girls’ subordination. The fact that the girls studied here were not restricted in physicality (or spatiality) indicates that there is considerable variation in female physicality. Overall, the findings underscore that studies of girls’ (and boys’) physicality should be grounded in detailed analyses of interaction in specific game contexts, with attention to cultural and institutional frameworks embedded in the games.
