Modeling of sex-typed behaviors: Effects on boys and girls.

80 preschoolers observed same-sex adults exhibiting 1 or 4 motor and verbal affectionate or aggressive response sequences during incidental modeling.

Differences in girls and boys regarding affectionate and aggressive behaviors are discussed. (3 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
