The author of the paper hope that the thesis helps the music academic community probe into the interactions and its Psychological Mechanism between the music behavior of human being and social environment based on the basic standpoint of the gender, and that the thesis helps the music academic community to understand the children's gender-role socialization how to develop and how to change with the influences of the social factors , so as to guide the parents and the teachers to breakthrough the traditional rigid Gender-role Stereotypes model, and to direct the boys' and the girls' development of multi-possibilities of the music behavior.The research showed that:(1) During the formation of the difference between the both sexes children, the basic precondition is the effects of the physiological factors, and social factors play an pivotal role in the effect of the sex difference.(2) The music behavior of the both sexes children is almost affected by the social factors, which is decided by the need of the sex role socialization of the children's music behavior.(3) With the effect of the social factors such as the family, the school education, the peer group and the Mass Media, there is sex difference in the music behavior of the different sex children. In which, there are distinct differences on the effect of the children's musicbehavior between the parents factors from the family and the educational factors in the school. But the effect on the children's music behavior from the peer group and the Mass Media is absent of the marked difference like the former two factors.(4) Both the boys and the girls in the different grades are affected by the above-mentioned social factors. But, to a certain extent, there are only differences. And there are bias of the effect factors on the children' music behavior in different grades and in different sexes. Namely, the music behavior of the different sex children from the different grades is probably mainly affected by one or two social factors.
