Effects of Reading Content on Occupational Sex Role Stereotypes.
Knell, Susan; Winer, Gerald A.
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v14 n1 p78-87 Feb 1979
The relation between sex and occupational role of story characters was systematically varied in reading material presented to preschoolers. Stories portraying a stereotyped relation between sex and occupation made girls more stereotyped in their responding, thus supporting the notion that reading content reinforces attitudes and ideas developed from other sources.
