Abstract

3- to 5-yr.-olds (68 boys and 71 girls) were observed in their use of a stereotypically female “housekeeping corner” in a preschool kindergarten. Role-playing behaviours showed a significant interaction of sex and age which indicates the continued stereotyping of sex role in modern children in spite of advances apparently made by the women's liberation movement.
