Development of Gender Role Knowledge and Gender Constancy.

Stangor, Charles; Ruble, Diane N.

New Directions for Child Development, n38 p5-22 Win 1987

Examines research which suggests that children's developing knowledge about traditional gender roles has a substantial influence on how children process information pertaining to gender. Evidence also shows that as children attain gender constancy, their behaviors become especially responsive to gender-related information. (Author/RWB)
