abstract = "This paper describes an agent-based model to investigate the origins of gender differences in social status. The agents{\textquoteright} basic behaviour is modelled according to Kemper{\textquoteright}s sociological status-power theory. Differences in the socializing forces of the surrounding society are modelled using Hofstede{\textquoteright}s dimensions of culture. Particulars of play behaviour are modelled using experimental child development studies from various cultures. The resulting model is presented and discussed. Social identity as a group of either nongendered children, boys, or girls, seems a powerful force, multiplying the effect of biological differences. The model is actually general enough to be applicable to a wide range of social behaviours with minimal changes.",
