Age and Sex Differences in Interaction with a Human Infant.
Blakemore, Judith E. O.
Child Development, v52 n1 p386-88 Mar 1981
Examines sex differences in vocalizations and play behaviors displayed toward an infant by preschoolers, preadolescents, and adults. Preschoolers showed less interaction than older subjects. Males talked and played less with the baby than did females at all ages; however, among adult subjects, no sex-role effects were found. (Author/RH)
