The Relation of Gender Understanding to Children's Sex-Typed Preferences and Gender Stereotypes.
Martin, Carol Lynn; Little, Jane K.
Child Development, v61 n5 p1427-39 Oct 1990
Ability to identify the sexes, understanding of gender group membership, temporal stability of gender, and gender consistency over situational changes were assessed in a sample of 61 boys and girls of 3-5 years of age. Findings suggested that only a rudimentary understanding of gender is acquired by children before the sex-typing process begins. (RH)
