Classroom Contextual Effects on Children's Play.
Pellegrini, A. D.; Perlmutter, Jane C.
Developmental Psychology, v25 n2 p289-96 Mar 1989

Children's behavior seemed to change with age and with the children's consideration of the sex-role appropriateness of interacting in particular play areas and with particular peers. (RH)
