This study examined associations between parents' gendered attitudes about play and children's gender development. The sample was 501 families from a large US city followed annually for 4 years (501 mothers, 383 fathers; 69% White, 16% Latinx, 8% African American; children M = 5.67 months, 53% boys). Latent trajectories examined change in parents' attitudes toward same- and other-gender play during first 4 years of the child's life. On a subsample (n = 252), trajectories were examined in relation to children's later gender-typed preferences and gender constancy. Parents grew more gender-flexible in their attitudes, particularly parents of boys. Trajectories reflecting more stereotypic attitudes showed some associations (small in magnitude) with children's gender-typed preferences and gender constancy by age 4.
本研究考察了父母对游戏的性别态度与儿童性别发展之间的关系。该样本包括来自美国一个大城市的 501 个家庭，这些家庭在 4 年内每年接受一次随访（501 名母亲，383 名父亲；69%为白人，16%为拉丁裔，8%为非裔美国人；儿童 M = 5.67 个月，53%为男孩）。潜在轨迹检验了儿童生命的前 4 年中父母对同性和异性游戏的态度变化。在一个子样本（n = 252）中，考察了轨迹与儿童后期性别类型偏好和性别恒定性的关系。父母的态度变得更加灵活，特别是男孩的父母。反映更刻板态度的轨迹与儿童 4 岁时的性别类型偏好和性别恒定性有一些关联（关联度较小）。
