Abstract
It is generally known that childrenâs development of âgender schemaâ and âgender role stereotypeâ has a positive relationship with the notion of âgender role preferenceâ. This study analyzed an unusual case focusing on the role playing of two brothersâ. The elder brother, Hyoung-Gyoo, always preferred to take the female role, and he had a preference for feminine names like âCordeliaâ whilst engaging in role playing situations. The brothers can be said to have crossed the border into the realm of intersexual role playing. The results revealed Hyoung-Gyooâs clear discrepancy between gender-related perceptions and reality, and showed his younger sibling Je-Gyooâs high level of acceptance towards his brotherâs extraordinary gender role preference. The results of this study can serve as a useful reference point for detailing unusual development from early childhood regarding âopposite-gender-role seekingâ characteristics. ìì¸ì´: ì± ëì, ì± ìí ê³ ì ê´ë , ì´ì±ì§í¥ì(ç°æ§å¿åè ), ì± ì ì²´ê°, ì± ìí ìì©ì± Keywords: gender schema, gender role stereotype, opposite-gender-role seeker, gender identity, gender role acceptability
