Sex Differences in Children's Performance in Problem-Solving Situations Involving an Adult Model.
Gold, Dolores; And Others
Child Development, v55 n2 p543-49 Apr 1984
Two studies investigated two groups of young children at the ages of four and eight years, respectively. Subjects were required to solve a simple problem task by performing a response opposite to that demonstrated by an adult. Girls' performance was significantly worse than boys', regardless of the sex of the model. (Author/CI)
