Description
Social cognitive factors in early sex-role development were studied by examining judgments of toy appropriateness for boys versus girls under both speeded and delayed response conditions, used as indices of automatic and reflective gender-schema processing, respectively. Subjects aged 3 to 7 viewed photographs of sex-typed and neutral toys and indicated either immediately or after a 2.8 sec. delay who usually plays with them. A toy choice task assessed the children's own sex-typed toy preferences. Flexibility judgments (number of neutral responses) increased in a linear fashion with age to neutral-toy stimuli. In contrast, flexibility with respect to sex-typed toys was generally low. The prediction that automatic-mode processing would be more strongly related to children's own sex-typing than is their reflective-mode processing was supported only for 3-year-old boys, in whom automatic-mode stereotyped judgments of feminine toys were linked to strength of sex-typed toy preferences.
