Abstract
Summary Sixty-seven middle-class boys and girls between three and six years of age viewed videotapes of adults engaged in traditional or cross-sex activities to determine the effects of sex-role modeling on sex-role attitudes and behaviors. It was hypothesized that cross-sex modeling would result in more androgynous attitudes and behaviors. Cross-sex modeling did produce more androgynous attitudes assessed immediately after modeling. However, cross-sex modeling resulted in no significant effects on a delayed posttest nor on behaviors on immediate or delayed posttests. Results indicated that girls were influenced by modeling to a greater extent than boys.
