Adult and Peer Social Interactions during Preschool Activity: A Combination for Gender Segregation?
Glassman, Michael
Early Child Development and Care, v165 p1-16 Dec 2000
Observed in a preschool classroom adult-child and child-child interaction normally considered pre- or early-gender segregation (30-42 months) to explore possible root causes of gender segregation during childhood. Found that adult-child social interactions initiated by female children were very different from those initiated by male children. These differences played out in child-child social interactions during free play. (Author/KB)
