Though there is increasing awareness of the potential benefits of other-gender interactions and friendships, there has been little research examining the factors that might act as barriers or promoters of such friendships. Our goal was to explore both individual-level factors (i.e., gender identity) and indicators of the social environment (i.e., perceived peer norms) that might relate to other-gender friendships. Sixth graders (N = 396, 47% girls; 65% White) nominated friends in their classrooms, reported their similarity to both own- and other-gender peers and reported on perceived peer norms related to other-gender interaction. Results indicated that, in general, feeling similar to other-gender youth was associated with more other-gender friends. Positive peer norms (e.g., heightened respect) but not negative norms (e.g., teasing) also were associated with more other-gender friends. Findings have implications for the importance of broadening our understanding of friendship homophily to consider gendered interests/similarities in addition to gender category. Further, the promotion of positive peer norms over negative ones might be an effective means of intervention to promote other-gender friendships.

我是谁,我的同龄人怎么想:性别认同和同龄人规范与异性友谊有何关系

尽管人们越来越意识到其他性别的互动和友谊的潜在好处,但很少有研究检查可能成为这种友谊的障碍或促进者的因素。我们的目标是探索可能与其他性别友谊相关的个人层面因素(即性别认同)和社会环境指标(即感知同伴规范)。六年级学生(N = 396, 47% 女孩; 65% 白人)在他们的课堂上提名朋友,报告他们与自己和其他性别的同伴的相似性,并报告了与其他性别互动相关的感知同伴规范。结果表明,一般而言,与其他性别青年的感觉相似与更多的其他性别朋友有关。积极的同伴规范(例如,提高尊重)而不是消极的规范(例如,取笑)也与更多的异性朋友有关。研究结果对扩大我们对友谊同质性的理解以考虑性别兴趣/相似性以及性别类别的重要性具有重要意义。此外,提倡积极的同伴规范而不是消极的同伴规范可能是促进异性友谊的有效干预手段。
