这项研究调查了儿童自身的性别刻板印象和同伴玩伴经历在塑造他们与持有反刻板印象偏好（例如，喜欢洋娃娃的男孩或喜欢卡车的女孩）。具体来说，儿童（4至8岁儿童; N = 95; M = 6.11，SD = 1.34; 46名女性，49名男性;抽样人群：67%白色，18%黑人，8%拉丁裔，4%亚裔，3%其他;家庭收入中位数：97，810美元）接受采访，了解他们对玩具偏好的性别刻板印象，他们参与反刻板印象玩伴体验的频率，以及他们想和那些有着反刻板玩具偏好的同龄人一起玩的愿望。与性别刻板印象一致的期望较少的儿童相比，与性别刻板印象一致的期望较多的儿童相比，与玩性别反刻板印象玩具的儿童相比，性别刻板印象一致的期望较少的儿童报告了更多的玩伴经历。此外，与性别刻板印象一致的期望较少的儿童相比，与性别刻板印象一致的期望更高的儿童更愿意与持有反刻板印象玩具偏好的同龄人一起玩。年幼的儿童与同龄人谁喜欢的玩具，是性别反定型观念和他们的愿望，与这些同龄人玩的玩伴的经验是强烈相关的性别定型的期望（和更大的孩子）。总之，这些研究结果表明，儿童的性别刻板印象和同伴玩伴的经验是与他们的愿望，发挥与同龄人谁持有反刻板的玩具偏好，突出了促进多样化的友谊，促进包容性的取向在童年的重要性。
This study investigated the role of children’s own gender stereotypes and peer playmate experiences in shaping their desire to play with peers who hold counter-stereotypic preferences (e.g., a boy who likes dolls or a girl who likes trucks). Specifically, children (4- to 8-year-olds; N = 95; M = 6.11, SD = 1.34; 46 female, 49 male; sampling population: 67% White, 18% Black, 8% Latinx, 4% Asian, 3% Other; median household income: $97,810) were interviewed about their gender stereotypes about toy preferences, how often they engage in counter-stereotypic playmate experiences, and their desire to play with peers who hold counter-stereotypic toy preferences. Children with less gender stereotype-consistent expectations reported more playmate experiences with children who played with toys that were gender counter-stereotypic compared to children with more gender stereotype-consistent expectations. Additionally, children with less gender stereotype-consistent expectations reported a greater desire to play with peers who held counter-stereotypic toy preferences compared to children with more gender stereotype-consistent expectations. Younger children’s reported playmate experiences with peers who liked toys that were gender counter-stereotypic and their desire to play with these peers were strongly related to their gender stereotypic expectations (and more so than for older children). Together, these findings indicate that children’s gender stereotypes and peer playmate experiences are related to their desire to play with peers who hold counter-stereotypic toy preferences, highlighting the importance of facilitating diverse friendships for promoting inclusive orientations in childhood.
