Maccoby argued that gender segregation occurs because of differences in boys' and girls' play styles. This means that boys and girls naturally choose to play with those of the same gender because they are more likely to engage in similar activities and have similar interests. It is not necessarily due to innate predestined gender-role differences or parental coaxing based on scriptural gender roles. Additionally, there is no evidence to suggest that children resist their parents' encouragement of psychological androgyny as a reason for gender segregation.
