Research shows that compared to girls, boys

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research shows that boys are more likely to engage in competitive and conflict-oriented discussions with their friends, while girls tend to focus on more supportive and empathetic conversations. This suggests that boys may prioritize competition and aggression in their friendships, while girls prioritize communication and intimacy. However, research does not consistently show that boys have fewer friends than girls, and the idea that boys engage in more "corumniation" (gossiping or talking behind each other's backs) is not well-supported by research. Therefore, options A, C, and D are not the best choices.
