Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:This study has used network measures to classify the children interactions in playground. The variance of network processes between genders was tested. Five girls and boys (n = 10; 4.6 0.6 years old) were observed. Statistical procedures has revealed significant differences between genders in IDC (p = 0.027; ES = 0.476; moderate effect) and BC (p = 0.011; ES = 0.576; moderate effect). Results revealed a greater cooperation process between boys.
