How Children Perceive the Origin of Babies and the Roles of Mothers and Fathers in Procreation: A Cross-national Study.

Goldman, Ronald J.; Goldman, Juliette D. G.

Child Development, v53 n2 p491-504 Apr 1982

A sample of 838 children ages 5 through 15 years in Australia, England, North America, and Sweden were interviewed about physical and sexual development. The study covers essentially the same area as Bernstein and Cowan (1975) but extends the sample on the dimensions of age, number, randomness, and comparisons made. (Author/RH)
