两项研究考察了相似性对3岁儿童最初喜欢同龄人的影响。研究人员向孩子们展示了在特定维度上与他们相似或不相似的一对孩子气的木偶，然后要求他们从其中一个木偶中选择一个来玩耍，以衡量他们的喜好。孩子们选择食物偏好或外表与自己相匹配的木偶。拆开外貌发现，头发颜色的稳定相似性可能比衬衫颜色的瞬时相似性对喜好的影响更大。第二项研究表明，孩子们也更喜欢与玩具偏好相同的同龄人一起玩，但重要的是，他们对在任意维度上相似的同龄人没有偏见。这些发现为幼儿同伴关系的最早发展提供了洞察力。(C)2009 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
Two studies examined the influence of similarity on 3-year-old children's initial liking of their peers. Children were presented with pairs of childlike puppets who were either similar or dissimilar to them on a specified dimension and then were asked to choose one of the puppets to play with as a measure of liking. Children selected the puppet whose food preferences or physical appearance matched their own. Unpacking the physical appearance finding revealed that the stable similarity of hair color may influence liking more strongly than the transient similarity of shirt color. A second study showed that children also prefer to play with a peer who shares their toy preferences, yet importantly, show no bias toward a peer who is similar on an arbitrary dimension. The findings provide insight into the earliest development of peer relations in young children. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
