[редактиране] Политиката и половете

The psychologist Piaget found girls more “tolerant” in their attitude toward rules, and more willing to make exceptions. In general, boys play more often than girls in large age-heterogeneous groups; they play more competitive games; and their games last longer than girls’ games. Boys’ games last longer apparently not because they are more complex or less boring, but because continual disputes over rules arise, and boys engage in conflict resolution...

In one study, boys were “seen quarreling all the time, but not once was a game terminated because of a quarrel, and no game was interrupted for more than seven minutes.” It almost appeared that the negotiation of rules (politics?) was as important as the game itself; certainly it was more constant—whatever the game, boys argued about the rules. For girls, the occurrence of a dispute tended to end the game, in a sense sacrificing continuation of the game for continuation of the relationship, as if no options for negotiation within the coalition or for changing coalitions existed.
