过去的研究预测，与群体相比，男性更有可能在一对一的互动中退缩。而女性在群体中比在一对一的互动中更有可能退出。98名10岁的儿童参与了一项词汇生成任务，这些儿童要么以同性二人组的形式进行，要么以小组的形式进行。男生在群体中完成的单词显著多于二人组，而女生在两种社会结构中的表现相似。为了证实这一假说，以写作时间为衡量标准，对二元组和小组的动态分析表明，男孩在二元组中的退缩比女孩更多，而女孩在小组中的退缩比男孩更多。此外，在群体中，女孩比男孩更有可能专注于一个人。对不同社会结构的性别偏好差异提出了因果解释。
Past research predicts that males will be more likely to withdraw in one-on-one interactions versus groups. whereas females will be more likely to withdraw in groups than in one-on-one interactions. Ninety-eight 10-year-old children engaged in a word generation task either in same-sex dyads or in groups. Boys completed significantly more words in groups than in dyads, whereas girls' performance was similar in the 2 social structures. Confirming the hypothesis, analyses of the dynamics of dyads and groups using time spent writing as a measure of effort demonstrated that boys withdrew more than girls in dyads, whereas girls withdrew more than boys in groups. Furthermore, in groups, girls were more likely than boys to focus on one individual. Causal explanations for sex differences in preferences for differing social structures are proposed.
