|
||
* A study of Korean immigrant girls and gender stereotypes
|
||
* Subjects admired princesses based on beauty or singing voice while boys admired princes based on chivalry, courage, or actions. Combined with a tradition of female subservience in Korean culture, these young girls appeared to accept their disenfranchisement.
|
||
* Subjects perceived that a woman could not be President of the United States because a classroom poster depicted all-male presidents.

* Observed children between the ages of 3-5
|
||
* Children predicted parents would **consistently apply these stereotypes** as reflected by their approval or disapproval of children’s choices to play with **gender stereotyped or cross-gender toys.**
|
||
* As early as **3-5 years**, children **recognize stereotypes** about gendered play and subconsciously account for social disapproval
