Abstract:
After listening to 2 stories, William's Doll and Ira Sleeps Over, 2 groups of kindergarten students (22 boys and 27 girls) were questioned about their attitudes toward the nontraditional male roles depicted. A comparison with a 1975 study by Styer suggests that both genders are more accepting of literature portraying boys in nontraditional ways.
