Gender differences in fear were examined in 693 Chinese children and adolescents. Subjects were asked to rate their own fears, the fears of their best friends, and the fears of "other" classmates using the Fear Survey Schedule for Children--Revised (Ollendick, 1983). Consistent with previous investigations in Western and Eastern countries, girls rated themselves as more fearful than boys. In addition, both girls and boys rated their best friends as similar in number, content, and intensity of fears. However, girls rated their classmates as less fearful than themselves or their best friends, while boys rated their classmates as more fearful then themselves or their best friends. Findings are discussed in terms of gender role expectations and similarity-attraction hypotheses.
对693名中国儿童和青少年的恐惧性别差异进行了研究。研究对象被要求使用儿童恐惧调查量表修订版（奥伦迪克，1983年）对自己的恐惧、最好朋友的恐惧以及“其他”同学的恐惧进行评分。与之前在西方国家和东方国家的调查一致，女孩认为自己比男孩更恐惧。此外，女孩和男孩都认为他们最好朋友的恐惧在数量、内容和强度上相似。然而，女孩认为她们的同学比自己或最好的朋友恐惧程度低，而男孩认为他们的同学比自己或最好的朋友恐惧程度高。研究结果从性别角色期望和相似性吸引假设的角度进行了讨论。
