Children's Gender-Related Inferences and Judgments: A Cross-Cultural Study.

Compared gender-related inferences and judgments of third and fifth graders from Taiwan (a traditional collectivistic culture), and Israel (a less traditional modern culture). Found that Taiwanese children distinguished more than did Israeli children between male targets in stories behaving stereotypically and counterstereotypically. Interpreted findings within framework of differences between the two cultures. (Author/KB)
