Occupational Roles Are Sex-Typed By Six- To Ten-Year-Old Children
Scheresky, Ruth F.
Psychology in the Schools, 14, 2, 220-224, Apr 77

The degree of sex typing was high among all subjects. Children at each age level viewed occupational roles for both men and women similarly to the traditional sex-typed role views. (Author)
