    Area of Science:

    • Child Psychology
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Behavioral Science

    Background:

    • Gender-nonconforming behaviors in childhood are complex and require further investigation.
    • Understanding the social and physical characteristics associated with effeminate behavior problems is crucial for accurate diagnosis and support.
    • Previous research has not fully elucidated the motor and social profiles of boys referred for gender-related behavioral issues.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the physical movement and social characteristics of boys with effeminate behavior problems to those of normal boys and boys referred for other behavioral issues.
    • To identify specific behavioral and motor patterns distinguishing boys with effeminate behavior problems.

    Main Methods:

    • A comparative study involving three groups of boys: effeminate behavior-problem (N=13), normal (N=25), and clinical control (N=12).
    • Data collection included parent reports, observer ratings, and analysis of videotaped performances during structured tasks.
    • Assessment of interests, activities, mannerisms, perceived behavior problems, body constriction, ball-throw form, and general coordination.

    Main Results:

    • Mothers reported significantly more feminine interests, activities, and mannerisms in sons with effeminate behavior problems.
    • Boys with effeminate behavior problems were perceived as more inactive and introverted.
    • Both gender-problem and clinical control boys exhibited increased body constriction and poorer ball-throw form compared to normal boys.
    • Gender-problem boys uniquely presented an overall impression of uncoordination in direct behavioral ratings.

    Conclusions:

    • Boys referred for effeminate behavior problems exhibit distinct social and behavioral characteristics, including heightened femininity in interests and mannerisms, and introversion.
    • Motor assessments reveal general uncoordination and specific deficits in movement patterns, such as body constriction and ball-throwing technique.
    • These findings highlight the need for tailored interventions that address both the behavioral and motoric aspects of effeminate behavior problems in childhood.
