Preschool Children's Computer Interest and Competence: Effects of Sex and Gender Role.

Williams, Sue Winkle; Ogletree, Shirley Matile

Early Childhood Research Quarterly, v7 n1 p135-43 Mar 1992

Investigated sex differences in preschoolers' computer interest and computer competence. There was little evidence for greater male interest and competence; in fact, there were no sex differences in computer competence. Boys viewed the computer as male-oriented, and girls viewed it as female-oriented. (GLR)
