The results of this study indicated that both males and females were more stereotypic in describing an opposite-sex ideal person than a same-sex ideal person. Further, the results reflected an increased endorsement of socially desirable traits with increased age of the respondents (7th graders, 12th graders, and adults). (JMB)

Using naturalistic methods, examined effect of awareness and valuation of gender on children's social group interactions. Subjects were 96 3rd and 4th graders.

An observational analysis of the male and female role models presented on 10 commercially produced children's programs revealed striking sex differences in (1) the number of roles portrayed; (2) the behaviors portrayed; and (3) the behavior consequences experienced. Possible implications related to stereotyped sex role development are discussed.…

Peer reviewedFrey, Karin S.; Ruble, Diane N. – Developmental Psychology, 1992
Children between 5 and 10 years of age watched boys and girls endorse toys of varying attractiveness and then play with the toys. Boys with gender constancy spent more time than other boys in playing with unattractive sex-typed toys. Among girls, toy play was related to the toy's attractiveness. (BC)

Peer reviewedCornelius, Steven W.; Denney, Nancy Wadsworth – Developmental Psychology, 1975
No differences were found between home-care and day-care 4- and 5-year-olds on dependency measures. However, home-care girls sought proximity toward their mothers significantly more often than home-care boys, while day-care girls did not differ from day-care boys. This suggests that day-care children may be less sex typed than home-care children.…

A children's picture-story technique, (the Sex Stereotype Measure) was developed and administered to 284 Euro-American kindergarten, second, and fourth graders. It was concluded that this method represents a promising approach to the assessment of sex stereotypes in preschool and early school-age children. (JMB)

Tests the ability of 43 children, ranging in age from 20 months to 40 months, to discriminate between pictures of boys and girls and male and female adults. Compares children who passed this gender-task with those who failed it on three behaviors most often categorized as sex-typed: toy choice, aggression, and peer playmate selection. (HOD)
