Children's Reactions to Textbook Stories in Which Females Are Portrayed in Traditionally Male Roles.
Scott, Kathryn P.; Feldman-Summers, Shirley
Journal of Educational Psychology, v71 n3 p396-402 Jun 1979
This study assessed the effects of portraying a female main character in a traditionally male role on male and female children's sex role perceptions and story evaluations. Exposure to nontraditional female characters increased children's perceptions of the number of girls who could engage in activities presented in the stories only. (Author/RD)
