The Child's Social Network: Sex Differences from Three to Six Years.

Feiring, Candice; Lewis, Michael

Sex Roles, v17 n11-12 p621-36 Dec 1987

Examines the social networks of 85 young children as they made the transition from a home-centered to a school-centered existence. As children reached school age, they had increased contact with peers and decreased contact with kin. Children as young as three showed more same-sex than opposite-sex peer contact. (Author/BJV)
