The variance of network processes between genders was tested. Five girls and boys (n = 10; 4.6 0.6 years old) were observed. Statistical procedures has revealed significant differences between genders in IDC (p = 0.027; ES = 0.476; moderate effect) and BC (p = 0.011; ES = 0.576; moderate effect). Results revealed a greater cooperation process between boys.engApplied mathematicsgraph theorynetwork analysischildreninteractionAssessment of interactions at children playgrounds using network measures : an exploratory study based on graph theoryjournal article10.7752/jpes.2016.s2160
