40 4-year-old children and their mothers participated in a study investigating concurrent links between attachment and peer interactions. Security of attachment was assessed in the laboratory from reunion episodes following a 10-min separation. Focal child observations were carried out during indoor free play in preschool. Relations between insecure attachment and peer interactions were different for boys and girls. Insecure boys showed more aggressive, disruptive, assertive, controlling, and attention-seeking behavior than secure children. Insecure girls showed more dependent behavior than secure children but less assertive and controlling behavior, and more positive expressive behavior and compliance. Secure girls and secure boys did not differ significantly. Gender differences in social behavior may be accounted for by a subgroup of children, those classified as insecure, and the same attachment classification may lead to different predictions depending on whether the child is a boy or a girl.
40名4岁儿童及其母亲参与了一项研究，该研究调查依恋与同伴互动之间的并发联系。依恋安全性是在实验室中通过10分钟分离后的团聚情节来评估的。在幼儿园室内自由玩耍期间对重点儿童进行观察。不安全依恋与同伴互动之间的关系在男孩和女孩中有所不同。不安全型男孩比安全型儿童表现出更多的攻击性、破坏性、自信、控制欲和寻求关注的行为。不安全型女孩比安全型儿童表现出更多的依赖行为，但自信和控制行为较少，且有更多积极的表达行为和顺从行为。安全型女孩和安全型男孩没有显著差异。社会行为中的性别差异可能由一类儿童（即被归类为不安全型的儿童）来解释，并且相同的依恋分类可能会根据儿童是男孩还是女孩而导致不同的预测结果。
