Conceptualizations of Sex Roles: A Life Span Developmental Study

Developmental Psychology, 12, 1, 15-23, Jan 76

The results of this study indicated that both males and females were more stereotypic in describing an opposite-sex ideal person than a same-sex ideal person. Further, the results reflected an increased endorsement of socially desirable traits with increased age of the respondents (7th graders, 12th graders, and adults). (JMB)
