Children's Responses to Same- and Other-Gender Peers: An Experimental Investigation with 8-, 10-, and 12-Year-Olds.
Underwood, Marion K.; Schockner, Alyssa E.; Hurley, Jennifer C.
Developmental Psychology, v37 n3 p362-72 May 2001
Compared how 8-, 10-, and 12-year-olds responded to provocation by a same- or an other-gender peer in a laboratory play session. Found that responses to other-gender peer were more negative than to same-gender peer during baseline and provocation periods. With other-gender partners, participants reported liking them less, trying less to get along, and coping by trying to play better rather than through verbal confrontation. (Author/KB)
