Same-Sex and Cross-Sex Help Exchanges in the Classroom.

Nelson-LeGall, Sharon; DeCooke, Peggy A.

Journal of Educational Psychology, v79 n1 p67-71 Mar 1987

This study examined same-sex and cross-sex help exchanges in reading and math classes among third and fifth-grade students. Students sought help more frequently from same sex. Girls, more than boys, reported liking their boy helpers as much as their same-sex helpers. (Author/JAZ)
