In a naturalistic study of age segregation during adolescence, 403 adolescents making up 153 separate groups were observed in three high schools and seven out-of-school settings. Age segregation was extensive, especially in school, among older adolescents in same-sex groups of friends. More mixed-age association was observed out of school among younger adolescents who were in mixed-sex groups containing relatives. Adolescents were most often observed with friends who were other adolescents, next with adults, and least frequently observed with children. Parents, particularly fathers, were rarely present. It was suggested that age segregation during adolescence is the result of a lack of contact with relatives.
在一项对青少年时期年龄隔离的自然主义研究中，观察了三所高中和七个校外环境中的 403 名青少年，他们组成了 153 个不同的群体。年龄隔离现象非常普遍，尤其是在学校中，年龄较大的青少年通常会与同性的朋友形成群体。在非学校环境中，年龄较小的青少年在混合性别群体中与亲戚交往更为频繁。青少年最常与其他青少年的朋友在一起，其次是与成年人在一起，与儿童在一起的频率最低。父母，特别是父亲，很少在场。研究人员认为，青少年时期的年龄隔离是由于与亲戚缺乏接触造成的。
