虽然最近的性别社会化理论涉及到同伴影响，但很少有调查测试儿童的性别行为是否会随着时间的推移而随着同伴经历的变化而变化，以及一些同伴经历是否会加剧而不是减轻性别不一致。因此，目前的研究考察了特定形式的同伴伤害与儿童遵守传统性别角色之间的潜在联系。在五年级的秋季和春季收集了199名儿童（104名女孩；95名男孩）的同伴受害报告和参与刻板男性化和女性化活动的自我报告。采用多群体路径分析的方法探讨了受害形式与男孩和女孩的男性气质和女性气质之间的关系。对于女孩来说，同伴受害预示着女性和男性行为的退出。对于男孩来说，身体、语言和一般的伤害预示着较低程度的女性行为，但社会排斥预示着传统女性活动的增加。这些发现强调了社会经历是如何放大和减少性别不一致性的。
Although peer influence has been implicated in recent theories of gender socialization, few investigations have tested whether children's gendered behaviours change over time as a function of peer experiences and whether some peer experiences may exacerbate, rather than dampen, gender non-conformity. Accordingly, the current study examined prospective links between specific forms of peer victimization and children's adherence to traditional gender roles. Peer reports of victimization and self-reports of engagement in stereotypically masculine and feminine activities were collected from 199 children (104 girls; 95 boys) in the Fall and Spring of their fifth-grade year. Multi-group path analysis was used to explore the relations between forms of victimization and masculinity and femininity for girls and boys. For girls, peer victimization predicted withdrawal from both feminine and masculine behaviours. For boys, physical, verbal, and general victimization predicted lower levels of feminine behaviours, but social exclusion forecast heightened engagement in traditionally feminine activities. These findings underscore how social experiences can amplify, as well as reduce, gender non-conformity.
