McGhee, Paul E.; Frueh, Terry
Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, v6 n2 p179-88 Apr 1980
A study was conducted to determine the relationship between the amount of time children spend watching television and their knowledge of adult sex stereotypes. Males and females in grades 1, 3, 5, and 7 made up the study population. Heavy viewers were found to have more stereotyped perceptions than light viewers. (Author/GC)
