To examine how children and young adults in two cultures think about gender norms, participants evaluated preferences that were inconsistent with gender norms. Participants (N = 200) included 53 children aged 5 years, 49 children aged 7 years, and 49 children aged 9 years, and 49 young adults from Korea and the United States. Both Koreans and Americans reasoned about violations of gender norms primarily as matters of personal choice in both public and private, with some conventional concerns in public settings. In both cultures, participants rejected the idea that an authority could have jurisdiction over gender-norm-related choices, and both groups suggested that being unable to express those preferences in public has a negative impact on individuals.
为了研究两个文化中的儿童和青少年如何看待性别规范，参与者评估了与性别规范不一致的偏好。参与者（N=200）包括 53 名 5 岁儿童、49 名 7 岁儿童、49 名 9 岁儿童和 49 名来自韩国和美国的年轻人。韩国人和美国人主要从个人选择的角度来推理违反性别规范的问题，在公共场合有一些传统的关注，在私人场合则没有。在两种文化中，参与者都反对权威可以对与性别规范相关的选择拥有管辖权的观点，两个群体都认为无法在公共场合表达这些偏好会对个人产生负面影响。
