The main aim is to determine students’ propensity to establish relationships with peers based on the nature of the activity, and analyze the influence of social expectations of gender in their choices. An ad hoc scale was designed and used to measure relationship preferences. The study sample was made up of 722 secondary education students aged between 12 and 17. The results show that boys are favored to play videogames and in sports activities, and girls are preferred to share secrets and swap clothes.

El artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio sobre las relaciones de género en la adolescencia. El objetivo fundamental es conocer la predisposición del alumnado a establecer relaciones entre iguales según la naturaleza de la actividad y analizar la influencia de expectativas sociales de género en sus elecciones. Se aplica una escala, diseñada ad hoc, para medir las preferencias relacionales. Participaron 722 estudiantes de Educación Secundaria de 12 a 17 años. Los resultados muestran que los chicos son más elegidos para jugar videojuegos y practicar deporte, y las chicas lo son para compartir secretos y prestarse ropa. También se observa una predisposición a elecciones mutuas entre adolescentes del mismo sexo en actividades escolares y extraescolares. Los resultados obtenidos muestran coincidencias con investigaciones realizadas en contextos diferentes, lo que demuestra la influencia de estereotipos de género en las relaciones entre iguales durante la adolescencia.
