Observations were made in the homes of 32 families, each with a child aged around 12 or 24 months. 16 of the children were boys and 16 girls. Boys showed more active play, play with transportation toys, and play generally forbidden by parents. Girls played more with soft toys and dolls. On questionnaire responses many parents rated these and other behaviors as sex appropriate. However, actual sex differences in immediate parental response to children were few or undetected. Sex differences in children's behavior did not appreciably increase from 12 to 24 months. Also, there was no correlation with how stereotyped parents' questionnaire responses were and the degree to which their children exhibited sex-typed behavior.
研究人员对32个家庭进行了观察，每个家庭都有一个年龄在12个月或24个月左右的孩子。其中16个孩子是男孩，16个是女孩。男孩表现出更多的活跃游戏、玩交通工具玩具以及通常被父母禁止的游戏。女孩则更多地玩柔软玩具和玩偶。在问卷回答中，许多家长将这些行为和其他行为评为符合性别特征。然而，父母对孩子的即时反应中实际的性别差异很少或未被发现。孩子的行为性别差异在12个月到24个月之间没有明显增加。此外，父母问卷回答的刻板程度与孩子表现出性别类型行为的程度之间没有相关性。
