성과 관련된 과제의 선호에서의 성 도식의 영향

The purpose of this study was to investigate children`s conceptions about gender and the relation between gender conceptions and preference for gender related tasks. 130 children were interviewed about gender and gender related tasks. Data were analyzed with the component model of gender schema. Results indicated that children`s gender schema in the attitudes domain was significantly different with age in all components but not different with sex. The gender schema in the knowledge domain was significantly different with age in within component and between component links, and with sex in the gender label-component and within component links. The difference between the gender inhibitory score and gender facilitative score was significantly different with age, sex, and children`s gender schema. The findings that gender schema influenced the children`s preferences for gender related tasks suggests a theoretical rationale of gender schema theory.
