9 expressive body gestures were recorded while 180 boys and girls of three age groups (4--5 yr., 7--8 yr., and 10--11 yr.) individually performed a standardized play task. Analysis of variance showed a significant overall difference in gestures between the sexes, and 5 of the gestures ("limp wrist," "arm flutters," "flexed elbow," "hand clasp," and "palming") occurred significantly more frequently in girls than boys. There was an interaction between sex and age for the "hands-on-hips with fingers forward" gesture. No differences associated with sex of experimenter were found.
在三个年龄组（4 - 5岁、7 - 8岁和10 - 11岁）的180名男孩和女孩分别执行一项标准化游戏任务时，记录了9种富有表现力的身体姿势。方差分析显示，两性之间在姿势上存在显著的总体差异，其中5种姿势（“手腕无力”“手臂摆动”“肘部弯曲”“双手紧握”和“手掌动作”）在女孩中出现的频率明显高于男孩。对于“手指向前叉腰”的姿势，性别和年龄之间存在交互作用。未发现与实验者性别相关的差异。
