Shaping Cooperative Cross-Sex Play
Serbin, Lisa A.; And Others
Child Development, 48, 3, 924-929, Sep 77
Contingent praise by classroom teachers was used to cue and reinforce cross-sex cooperative play in 2 nursery school classes of 4-year-old children. Results suggested that previous learning and/or current classroom contingencies may reinforce same-sex playmate choices when teachers do not deliberately reinforce play between boys and girls. (JMB)
