Abstract

Abstract:The current investigation uses longitudinal data to begin to understand the correlates of gender integration and youth emotional adjustment. Participants were 207 adolescents (mean age = 11.11 years, 53% female). The results demonstrated that, when compared to only having gender-segregated peer affiliates, gender-integrated peer affiliates, as well as the transition from gender-segregated to gender-integrated peer affiliations from the beginning to the end of the sixth-grade academic year was associated with significantly higher levels of self-esteem. Descriptive data also indicate that gender segregation was associated with lower levels of depressive symptoms, although the effects on depressive symptomology did not reach traditional levels of statistical significance. The findings highlight the important emotional impact of gender-diverse peer relationships among young adolescents.
青少年情绪调节与同伴关系之间的关系:同伴关系中的性别多样性
摘要:目前的调查使用纵向数据来开始了解性别融合和青年情绪调节的相关性。参与者为207名青少年(平均年龄=11.11岁,53%为女性)。研究结果表明,与只有性别隔离的同伴关系相比,性别融合的同伴关系,以及从六年级学年开始到结束从性别隔离到性别融合的同龄人关系的转变,都与显著更高的自尊水平有关。描述性数据还表明,性别隔离与较低水平的抑郁症状有关,尽管对抑郁症状学的影响没有达到传统的统计学显著性水平。研究结果强调了青少年中不同性别的同伴关系对情绪的重要影响。
