The present study compared the sex role learning of preschool
girls from families with "traditional" and "nontraditional" (egalitarian)
attitudes toward women's roles on measures of sex role knowledge and
preference. Forty-eight four and five year old girls from intact,
middle class families served as subjects. Their parents' attitudes

The...
The present experiment examined children's memory for stereotypic
and non-stereotypic sex role content in their reading material.

influenced the perceived attitudes toward sex roles in
alcoholic women in aftercare. It was expected that
alcoholic women in aftercare who had received an

Systems theory and role theory were used in this study to
develop a management model, integrating the managerial and
psycho-social subsystems of the family system. The integrated theory
and model were used to derive hypotheses concerning whether or not
type of task and actual/relative amount of time spent on household...
Inquiry into the cause of men's premature mortality has been historically framed in a biological deterministic perspective.
