Silvern, Louise E.

Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, v4 n6 p929-49 Dec 1978

In this study, the response of peers and teachers to children who differed in the extent to which their self-concepts included traits which children view as masculine or feminine is examined. Among boys, relative masculinity was associated with a distinct pattern of classroom behavior to which women teachers gave negative evaluations. (Author/WI)
