Abstract

Gender-typed play may contribute to gender disparities in spatial skills, but evidence of this link is limited. Gender-typed play and mental transformation, an important spatial skill, were studied using age-appropriate and comprehensive measures. Chinese children were tested at 5–6 years and at 11–14 years (N = 210), creating a long-term data set considering bidirectional associations. Play and mental transformation showed moderate to large gender differences. Importantly, boy-typical play positively predicted mental transformation, while girl-typical play negatively predicted it. Results were largely consistent across gender and socioeconomic status and when play was coded by spatialness. They suggest that play is an important socialization experience and illuminates the developmental origins of gender disparities in spatial skills.

儿童性别类型游戏与心理转变的长期前瞻性交叉滞后研究。
性别类型的游戏可能会导致空间技能的性别差异,但这种联系的证据有限。性别类型的游戏和心理转换是一种重要的空间技能,研究人员使用了适合年龄的综合测量方法。中国儿童在5-6岁和11-14岁时接受测试(N = 210),建立了一个考虑双向关联的长期数据集。玩耍和心理转变表现出中等到较大的性别差异。重要的是,典型的男孩游戏积极预测心理转变,而典型的女孩游戏消极预测心理转变。结果在性别和社会经济地位之间基本一致,当游戏被空间性编码时。他们认为,游戏是一种重要的社会化体验,并阐明了空间技能中性别差异的发展起源。
