Differences in attraction to same- and other-sex peers as a function of sex, age, individual characteristics (i.e., aggression), and context were examined in a longitudinal study of early adolescent boys and girls (N = 217) that covered the transition from elementary school (Time 1) to middle school (Times 2 and 3). Consistent with T. Moffitt's (1993) concept of the "maturity gap," attraction to aggressive peers, especially attraction to aggressive boys among girls, increased with age and upon entry to middle school, as did attraction to peers who stood out in the peer group in easily observable ways. Attraction to peers who presented features associated with good classroom-based behavior decreased. These patterns are discussed in terms of the developmental needs served by associating with particular peers.
在一项针对青春期早期男孩和女孩（N = 217）的纵向研究中，考察了作为性别、年龄、个体特征（即攻击性）和环境函数的对同性和异性同伴吸引力的差异，该研究涵盖了从小学（时间1）到中学（时间2和3）的过渡阶段。与T. 莫菲特（1993）的“成熟差距”概念一致，对攻击性同伴的吸引力，尤其是女孩对攻击性男孩的吸引力，随着年龄增长和进入中学而增加，对在同伴群体中以易于观察的方式脱颖而出的同伴的吸引力也增加。对呈现出与良好课堂行为相关特征的同伴的吸引力下降。根据与特定同伴交往所满足的发展需求对这些模式进行了讨论。
