Goldman, Ronald J.; Goldman, Juliette D. G.

Journal of Psychology, v109 n1 p97-108 Sep 1981

Interviews regarding physical and sexual development were conducted with 838 children ages five through 15 in Australia, England, North America, and Sweden. Children identified the people whom they asked sex-related questions and indicated their major sources of information. Mothers, school, and the media were the most frequently cited sources.
