Bridges, Judith S.; Del Ciampo, Joseph
Perceptual and Motor Skills, v52 n2 p503-06 Apr 1981
Upper middle-class first- and third-graders indicated how well they thought a boy or girl was performing activities classified as masculine, feminine, or neutral. Subjects of both sexes tended to assign more competence to performance of sex-appropriate roles. On neutral activities, boys tended to devalue girls' competence. (Author/SJL)
