Using the concepts of sensory and affective experience, this work relates the concepts of socialization and cognitive development to the embodiment of gender in the human infant. Evidence obtained from biweekly observations from 30 children and their mothers observed from age 3 months to age 12 months revealed measurable sex-related differences in how mothers handle and touch their infants. This work offers novel approaches to visualizing combinations of behaviors with the aim of encouraging researchers to think in terms of suites of action rather than singular sensory or motor systems. New avenues of research into the mechanisms which produce sex-related differences in behavior are suggested.
运用感官和情感体验的概念,这项研究将社会化和认知发展的概念与人类婴儿性别体现联系起来。对30名儿童及其母亲从3个月大到12个月大进行每两周一次的观察所获得的证据表明,母亲在照顾和抚摸婴儿的方式上存在可测量的性别差异。这项研究提供了新的方法来可视化行为组合,旨在鼓励研究人员从一系列行动而非单一的感官或运动系统的角度进行思考。同时提出了关于产生行为性别差异机制的新研究途径。
