The Gender Dimension in Children's Learning of Prosocial Competence in Early Educational Settings.
Hagglund, Solveig
European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, v1 n2 p67-80 1993
Examined the development of children's prosocial behavior by following 10 boys and 10 girls, along with their teachers, through their last year of preschool and first 2 years of school. Found that free play tended to be gender segregated, and that teachers, the majority of whom were female, considered girls to exhibit more prosocial behavior than boys. (MDM)
