Abstract:
An analysis is reported of drawings of pregnancy by children of both sexes, with the hypothesis that it would be possible to determine sex-related characteristics of the drawings. Clear sexual differentiation in male and female children's representations of pregnancy was revealed by to features: the location of the baby inside the body of the mother and the tendency in some of the boys to "masculinize" the figure, of the expectant mother.
