基于随机参与者的模型被用来调查性别隔离的起源，通过检查同龄人的性别相似性和在性别类型活动中花费的时间如何影响归属网络选择以及同龄人如何影响儿童（N = 292；Mage = 4.3years）的活动参与。性别通过直接和间接途径对互动产生强大影响。孩子们会选择同性的玩伴，并进行类似的性别类型活动。基于性别类型的活动的选择部分介导了基于同龄人性别的选择。儿童影响彼此参与性别类型的活动。当比较产生性别隔离的机制时，最大的贡献者是基于同龄人性别的选择；较少的是由于基于活动的选择和同伴影响。讨论了性别隔离和性别发展的影响。
A stochastic actor-based model was used to investigate the origins of sex segregation by examining how similarity in sex of peers and time spent in gender-typed activities affected affiliation network selection and how peers influenced children's (N=292; Mage=4.3years) activity involvement. Gender had powerful effects on interactions through direct and indirect pathways. Children selected playmates of the same sex and with similar levels of gender-typed activities. Selection based on gender-typed activities partially mediated selection based on sex of peers. Children influenced one another's engagement in gender-typed activities. When mechanisms producing sex segregation were compared, the largest contributor was selection based on sex of peers; less was due to activity-based selection and peer influence. Implications for sex segregation and gender development are discussed.
