Males are consistently found to play more than females when tested in mixed-sex groups.
“While males are consistently found to play more than females when tested in mix-sex groups (Meaney and Stewart, 1981b; Olesen et al., 2005; Parent and Meaney, 2008)”
From Sexually dimorphic role for vasopressin in the development of social play (2014) · cites this paper as Meaney and Stewart, 1981b
Juvenile male rats play at higher frequencies than females, and this sex difference is organized by testosterone action within the developing male amygdala.
“Juvenile male rats play at higher frequencies than females, and this sex difference is organized by testosterone action within the developing male amygdala.15,16”
From Neonatal MeCP2 is important for the organization of sex differences in vasopressin expression (2012) · cites this paper as [15]
AR is critical in the development of social play behavior.
“As AR is critical in the development of social play behavior, 15,16,48 a reduction in AR expression during development could also contribute to the lasting decrease in juvenile social play behavior in males.”

Juvenile social play behavior is influenced by neonatal estradiol and testosterone exposure.
“This difference is known to be influenced by neonatal estradiol and testosterone exposure, because manipulating these hormone levels can sex reverse differences in juvenile social play behavior in rats (6 -8) and nonhuman primates (9,10).”
From The Nuclear Receptor Corepressor Has Organizational Effects within the Developing Amygdala on Juvenile Social Play and Anxiety-Like Behavior (2010) · cites this paper as [6]
Juvenile social play behavior is classically thought to be due to activation of androgen receptors, with some data suggesting a possible involvement of estrogen receptors.
“Juvenile social play behavior is classically thought to be due to activation of androgen receptors (6,32), with some data suggesting a possible involvement of estrogen receptors (8).”
From The Nuclear Receptor Corepressor Has Organizational Effects within the Developing Amygdala on Juvenile Social Play and Anxiety-Like Behavior (2010) · cites this paper as [6]
A typical sex difference in juvenile play behavior was observed; males exhibited higher levels of play than females.
“A typical sex difference in juvenile play behavior was observed; males exhibited higher levels of play than did females.*, P Ͻ 0.001.”

Castration during the juvenile period did not seem to reduce play behavior in males.
“However, researchers also found that castration during the juvenile period did not seem to reduce play behavior in males (19).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
