  29. <meta content="Gender differences in play behavior are well documented. However, little work has examined
  30. the issue of variability of gender-typed behaviors within individuals or within genders.
  31. We investigated whether children's gender-typed toy play behavior is (a) variable across time
  32. within individuals, and (b) variable in response to exposure to counterstereotypic models.
  33. Extensive observations (N = 203) were made of 8 highly gender-typed preschool children
  34. over 4 months. Variability was assessed by examining changes in the percentage of masculine
  35. and feminine toy play across successive days in which (a) gender neutral stories were read
  36. (within-individual variability) and (b) gender counterstereotypic stories were introduced (environmental
  37. variability). Variability of gender-typed play within individuals and in response
  38. to environmental stimuli was found among girls, but not among boys." name="eprints.abstract" />

However, little work has examined
  343. the issue of variability of gender-typed behaviors within individuals or within genders.
  344. We investigated whether children's gender-typed toy play behavior is (a) variable across time
  345. within individuals, and (b) variable in response to exposure to counterstereotypic models.
  346. Extensive observations (N = 203) were made of 8 highly gender-typed preschool children
  347. over 4 months. Variability was assessed by examining changes in the percentage of masculine
  348. and feminine toy play across successive days in which (a) gender neutral stories were read
  349. (within-individual variability) and (b) gender counterstereotypic stories were introduced (environmental
  350. variability). Variability of gender-typed play within individuals and in response
  351. to environmental stimuli was found among girls, but not among boys.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Additional Information:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Keywords:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">play; gender differences; intervention.</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/380106.html">380000 Behavioural and Cognitive Sciences &gt; 380100 Psychology &gt; 380106 Developmental Psychology and Ageing</a></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ID Code:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">1632</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited By:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><span class="ep_name_citation"><span class="person_name">Mrs Anita Cubit</span></span></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited On:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">22 Aug 2007</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Last Modified:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">09 Jan 2008 02:30</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ePrint Statistics:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a target="ePrintStats" href="/es/index.php?action=show_detail_eprint;id=1632;">View statistics for this ePrint</a></td></tr></table><p align="right">Repository Staff Only: <a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/cgi/users/home?screen=EPrint::View&amp;eprintid=1632">item control page</a></p>
