Running head: DOMESTIC GENDER ROLES

چکیده
We recruited 326 children, between seven and 13 years old (172 boys, 154 girls, Mage = 9.34, SDage = 1.72) and at least one of their parents (204 mothers, Mage = 41.15, SDage = 6.71, 59.3% Caucasian; 141 fathers, Mage = 43.67, SDage = 5.92, 74.3% Caucasian) at a science center. Our initial goal was to collect usable data on 300 to 400 children. Our initial goal was to collect usable data from 300 to 400 children. Data collection took place December, 2011 through August, 2012 and was stopped when our sample was within that range and a turnover in research staff during the summer would have required substantial training of new staff. Degrees of freedom for some analyses are reduced due to missing data on one or more parent or child measures. In addition, data from 38 additional children were excluded from analyses because neither parent participated in the study. Because we had data from both parents for only 27% of the children (n = 87), data were analyzed as two distinct samples of parent-child dyads: a sample of 140 fathers with 170 children (83 daughters, 87 sons) and a sample of 204 mothers with 243 children (115 daughters, 128 sons). Note that distinguishability tests (Kenny, Kashy, & Cook, 2006) confirmed assumptions that predictor variables had significantly distinct patterns of covariation among male and female parents, justifying our approach to divide our parent sample based on gender. Also, each sample included some children who were siblings of each other: 35% in the father sample and 32% in the mother sample. For more detail, see the subsection of Supplementary Analyses below, entitled Possible Dependencies Among Child Siblings.

Using latent semantic analysis, we examined gender stereotypes in American English by submitting over 100 masculine, neutral, and feminine role-words and trait-words to pair-wise semantic similarity comparisons with masculine (man, he, him) and (woman, she, her) referents separately. We expected to find: (a) Stereotyping – roles and traits would be more semantically similar to the ostensible ‘m...
