Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Background:

  • Preadolescent social competence is crucial for peer interactions.
  • Understanding gender dynamics in peer relationships is essential.
  • Limited research exists on distinct efficacy beliefs for relating to own- and other-gender peers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce and validate the construct of gender-based relationship efficacy.

Main Results:

  • Own-gender and other-gender relationship efficacy are distinguishable aspects of social competency.
  • These distinct efficacy beliefs differentially predict outcomes with own- and other-gender peers.
  • Gender and age differences were observed in relationship efficacy beliefs.

Conclusions:

  • Gender-based relationship efficacy is a valid construct influencing preadolescent social development.
  • Findings highlight the importance of considering distinct efficacy beliefs for same- and different-gender peer interactions.
