Measures of Play Behavior: The Influence of Sex-Role Stereotyped Children's Books.
Ashton, Eleanor
Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, v9 n1 p43-47 Jan 1983
Following exposure to picture books that showed characters playing with either sex role stereotypic or nonstereotypic toys, preschoolers chose to play longer with the toys they had seen in the books. The books had a greater effect on girls than on boys. (Author/MJL)
