Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that boys are more likely to enforce gender boundaries and reject cross-gender play in their peers, whereas girls are generally more tolerant of boys engaging in activities that are traditionally associated with girls.

Answer: B
 Preschoolers are actually frequently criticized for engaging in cross-gender activities, as gender-segregated peer groups often reinforce strict gender roles and discourage deviation from traditional gender expectations.

Answer: C
 Preschoolers tend to play in same-gender peer groups more often than in mixed-gender peer groups, as they generally prefer to play with those who are of the same gender as themselves.

Answer: D
 This statement is not supported by research and is actually a gender stereotype that perpetuates harmful gender norms. It is important to recognize that individuals of all genders are capable of using various forms of communication and negotiation to get their way, and it is not fair or accurate to attribute these behaviors solely to girls.
