Preschool Children's Preferences and Recall for Stereotyped versus Nonstereotyped Stories.

Kropp, Jerri Jaudon; Halverson, Charles F.

Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, v9 n2 p261-72 Feb 1983

Of four stories, preschool girls liked one with a female character and feminine activity best, and one with a male character and masculine activity least. The reverse was true for boys. Measures taken a day later showed that children recalled more about stories they had liked least the day before. (Author/MJL)
