This research compared how participants in the age range of middle childhood (N = 565, approximate ages 8, 10, and 12 years) resppnded to provocation by a same- or an other-gender peer. In a laboratory play session, participants were provoked in two ways: by losing at a computer game and by being teased by a confederate actor. Immediately following the provoking play session, participants were interviewed about their perceptions of the provoking peer, emotional responses, coping strategies, and social goals. For both the baseline and provocation periods, observational data indicated that facial, verbal, and gestural responses to an other-gender peer were more negative than to a same-gender peer. With other-gender partners, participants reported liking the peer less, trying less to get along with the provocateur, and coping with the provocation by trying to play better rather than by verbally confronting the actor.
本研究比较了童年中期年龄范围（N = 565，大约8岁、10岁和12岁）的参与者对同性或异性同伴挑衅的反应。在一次实验室游戏环节中，通过两种方式对参与者进行挑衅：在电脑游戏中输了，以及被一名同谋演员嘲笑。在挑衅性游戏环节之后，立即对参与者进行访谈，询问他们对挑衅同伴的看法、情绪反应、应对策略和社交目标。对于基线期和挑衅期，观察数据表明，对异性同伴的面部、言语和手势反应比对同性同伴的反应更消极。与异性同伴在一起时，参与者报告说对该同伴的喜欢程度较低，与挑衅者相处的努力较少，并且通过试图表现得更好而不是通过与演员进行言语对抗来应对挑衅。
