The Development of Gender Stereotype Components.
Martin, Carol Lynn; And Others
Child Development, v61 n6 p1891-1904 Dec 1990
Children of 4 to 10 years of age were told about children whose sex was not specified and who had a masculine or feminine toy or characteristic. Results indicated that children first learn characteristics relevant to their own sex, and that older children's stereotypic judgments about gender are more extreme than those of younger children.
