Abstract
The current research examined gender segregation among first and second grade children and third through fifth grade children. A one time naturalistic observation was conducted during recess at a public elementary school. We expected that (a) more segregation in the older group; (b) that boys would play in larger groups than girls; (c) boys would engage in more rough and tumble play than girls and (d) girls would engage in more social activities than boys. All four hypotheses were supported.
