To evaluate perceptions of a pediatrician's attire, 50 children and parents in an outpatient facility were shown five photographs of a female or a male physician dressed differently (formal to informal). A list of positive and negative attributes was presented to the parents and children who were to match each picture to the attributes. Parents had a strong positive preference for the formally dressed female (short white coat and skirt), and the formally dressed male (short white coat and tie). More than 50% of the parents least preferred the most informal attire. Children had no clear preferences for males and preferred the female in the blouse and skirt. Children assigned negative attributes to informal attire but not to the same degree as did their parents. This study demonstrates that parents have stronger preferences than do their children. Although children had no strong positive preferences, they may feel negatively about informal attire.
为了评估对儿科医生着装的看法，一家门诊机构的50名儿童和家长观看了五张女性或男性医生穿着不同（从正式到非正式）的照片。向家长和儿童展示了一份正面和负面属性列表，让他们将每张照片与这些属性进行匹配。家长对穿着正式的女性（白色短外套和裙子）和穿着正式的男性（白色短外套和领带）有强烈的积极偏好。超过50%的家长最不喜欢最不正式的着装。孩子们对男性没有明确的偏好，更喜欢穿着衬衫和裙子的女性。孩子们将负面属性归因于非正式着装，但程度不如他们的父母。这项研究表明，家长比孩子有更强的偏好。虽然孩子们没有强烈的积极偏好，但他们可能对非正式着装感到负面。
