Moller, Lora C.; Serbin, Lisa A.
Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, v35 n7/8 p445-60 Oct 1996
Possible antecedents of toddler gender separation were studied with 57 toddlers with a mean age of 35 months. There were no differences between gender-segregating and nonsegregating children regarding gender toy preferences or gender awareness, but teachers saw gender-segregating girls as more socially sensitive.
