According to Dunphy (1963), the second step in the sequence of male-female relationships during childhood and adolescence is a loose association of girls and boys, with public interactions within a crowd. Dexter Dunphy's classic study of Australian adolescent cliques suggests that cliques prepare adolescents for the hetero-social world. The first step are groups of friends, exclusively one sex or the other.

Explanation:

As regards the development of romantic attraction in adolescents, Australian researcher Dexter Dunphy outlined the four steps of male-female relationships in childhood and adolescence, from asexual to active. The first step involves groups of friends, exclusively one sex or the other; the third includes smaller mixed groups of the advanced members of the crowd; while the last step deals with the constitution of couples, with an intimately close relationship.
