Document Summary
Preference method show image/pattern in front of experimenter"s face so babies look at the sign and not the experimenter. Infants as young as 3mths prefer to look at faces than anything else. Prefer to look to look at attractive faces can somehow tell (faces that we would rate as attractive, babies also prefer) Some scientists wondered what effect the colour of the clothing has on parents. Babies dressed in pink were treated more gentle and babies dressed in blue were treated more rough (1970s) even though have were girls and half were boys. A couple had a baby and didn"t tell anyone the gender. You have a biological sex (male and female) and a social role (masculine and feminine) Parents told him everything when he was older had another sex change lived well for a while but still never felt like he fit in and committed suicide.
