Difference without Dominance: Children's Talk in Mixed- and Same-Sex Dyads.

McCloskey, Laura A.; Coleman, Lerita M.

Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, v27 n5-6 p241-57 Sep 1992

This study assesses whether third graders verbalize gender differences in dominance in mixed- and same-sex interactions, using data from tape-recordings of 43 pairs of white children (14 female and 12 male same-sex dyads and 17 different-sex dyads) playing checkers in same- or mixed-sex conditions. Children develop gender-differentiated speech styles. (JB)
