Socialization Effects on the Size of Nigerian Children's Drawings.

Pfeffer, Karen; Olowu, A. A.

Early Child Development and Care, v20 n2-3 p171-76 1985

Examines the effects of socialization on the size of Yoruba children's drawings of a man and a woman through use of the Draw a Person test. Findings support the prediction that male figures were drawn relatively larger than female figures only in the low income group, reflecting the gender inequality that appears typical of the Yoruba social system.
