Weisner, Thomas S.; Wilson-Mitchell, Jane E.
Child Development, v61 n6 p1915-33 Dec 1990
Examined sex role socialization and sex-typing in six-year olds from conventional and nonconventional family types. Children from families with strongest sex egalitarian beliefs displayed non-sex-typed knowledge of objects and occupations more often than did children from other families. Across family types, girls had more flexible sex-typing training than did boys. (BC)
