Answer 1

-In terms of gender and peer relationships, boys are more likely than girls to be isolates, and girls are more likely than boys to be in cliques.

Liaisons refer to the links facilitating communication and cooperation between two entities. Cliques refer to homogeneous groups. Isolates refer to lesser social interaction.

Several studies- Cohen (1977); Urberg et al. (1995) , etc. highlighted that girls are more likely to be in cliques while boys tend to be more isolated from cliques.
