Abstract

JENNINGS, SALLY A. Effects of Sex Typing in Children's Stories on Preference and Recall. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1975, 46, 220-223. 32 preschool boys and girls heard 2 stories: 1 about a character of their sex and 1 about a character of the opposite sex. A significant number of subjects preferred the story where the character displayed accurate behavior for the sex. Higher mean scores for recall were recorded for the story where the character's sex role was atypical. The scores were significant for both male and female subjects.
