Dyad Gender Differences in Preadolescents' Creative Stories.

Strough, JoNell; Diriwachter, Rainer

Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, v43 n1-2 p43-60 Jul 2000

Examined how the social context of working within same- or different-sex peer dyads related to gender-typed ideas expressed in creative stories. Sixth graders collaborated to write creative stories. Boy dyads' stories included more overtly aggressive ideas and fewer prosocial story ideas than girl dyads' stories. Mixed-gender dyads' stories contained more prosocial ideas than boy dyads' stories.
