Gender Labels and Early Sex Role Development

Abstract: A series of tests was designed for 24-, 30-, and 36-month-old children to measure their ability to apply various gender labels to the appropriate sexes, their capacity to place themselves in their own gender category, and their usage of labels to guide preference behavior. Also, the child's awareness of sex role stereotyping and the relationship of the above measures to parental SES and sex role attitudes were examined. In general, unlike the younger children, the oldest children consistently applied gender la… Show more

“…Segundo a literatura na área, os pais têm uma importância fundamental no que diz respeito a formação da identidade de gênero das crianças, sendo apontados, ainda, como os maiores responsáveis pelo desenvolvimento dos estereótipos de papel de gênero de seus filhos (Pellett & Ignico, 1993 As crianças manifestam seu conhecimento de papéis de gênero através da categorização de brinquedos e da escolha de atividades feitas segundo este critério (Thompson, 1975;Fagot & Leinbach, 1989). A preferência por brinquedos marcadamente tipificados para um determinado sexo, tem sido observada como uma das mais precoces manifestações do desenvolvimento do papel de gênero em crianças (O'Brien & Huston, 1985).…”

“…Crianças podem manifestar seu conhecimento sobre identidade e papel de gênero através da categorização de brinquedos e da escolha de atividades feitas segundo o critério de gênero (Thompson, 1975;Fagot & Leinbach, 1989). Embora muitos fatores contribuam para este fenômeno, a construção da identidade de gênero e a aquisição de estereótipos de papel de gênero parecem ser o resultado de um processo evolutivo, atribuído a uma função da socialização primária da criança (Snow, Jacklin & Maccoby, 1983).…”

“…Using the Michigan Gender Identity Test (MGIT), Paluszny, BeitHallahmi, Catford, Cooley, Dull, and Guiora (1973) found that 25070 of children between 25 and 27 months of age could accurately categorize as male or female photographs of other children as well as their own pictures; by 34 to 37 months, almost all the subjects completed the MGIT without error. Using a similar procedure, Thompson (1975) found that at 24-25 months 82070 of the children could identify their own picture and 76070 of the subjects correctly labeled pictures of boys, girls, men, and women. At 30 months, 100070 of the subjects correctly labeled their own photographs and 83% of the subjects correctly identified boys, girls, men, and women.…”
