Sex differentiation and interpersonal relations in a group of children
(RESUME)

Social-psychological aspects of the problem of sex differentiation in a group of children are analyzed. The data concerning historical-cultural forms of the sex-role behavior, evolution of real-life children's associations within the sex-age structure of the society, and the interpersonal relations of contemporary boys and girls in groups of the same sex, are drawn into the analysis of regularities of development of children's behavior in correspondence with their sex. A non-uniform determination of a child's attitude to his/her age-mate at different ontogenetical levels (from 5 to 13 years) has been revealed. Development of the psychological sex, and of the personality as such in social groups can be understood only in the context of historical, present-day, and perspective trends in evolution of those groups.
