Abstract

Although social preference promotes adolescents’ defending behaviors, its potential mechanisms across gender cliques remain unclear from the group dynamic perspective. This study investigated 2470 Chinese early adolescents (49% girls, Mage = 14.40, SD = 0.58) to explore how social preference and clique hierarchy are associated with defending behaviors and whether these associations differ across gender-specific cliques. The results revealed that social preference was positively related to defending behaviors in boys’ cliques, but negatively in girls’ cliques. Furthermore, the association was strengthened by hierarchization in boys’ cliques but was weakened in girls’ cliques, while the status structure strengthened the association in boys’ but not girls’ cliques. These findings hold crucial implications for understanding and promoting defending behaviors among adolescents.
