Document Summary
Activity level boys have higher activity, but the difference is small in infants, medium in preschoolers, and large in older children. Temperament (the part of your personality you"re born with) Girls = better at inhibitory control, medium-sized difference. Parents have different expectations for sons and daughters. Parents influence infants and infants influence parents: gender differences due to biological factors no time for gender-role socialization yet, important to study the way parents treat infants to check for differences in treatment. Mothers estimate how steep a slope their infant could successfully crawl down (mondschein et al. , 2000) Baby x study (seavey et al. , 1975) studied interactions between adults and infants (1/3 told baby was a boy, 1/3 told baby was a girl, 1/3 not told any gender) Most people thought baby was a boy due to strength of grasp or lack of hair. We make up a gender when we don"t know for sure.
