“…The age-related patterns were consistent with past work that has documented age-related increases in social-conventional reasoning for the evaluation of exclusion from peer activities . Here, too, with age, children relied on stereotypic expectations to evaluate the division of chores in the home context, as they have done in past research on evaluation of parental roles (Sinno & Killen, 2009). What is new in the present study is the finding that the majority of children used social-conventional reasoning along with stereotypic expectations as the basis for their decisions at all ages.…”

Furthermore, this work extends the research of Sinno and Killen (2009), which demonstrated that children's judgments about caretaking roles in the home setting are highly contingent upon gender-stereotypic expectations.…”

“…Basic stereotypes begin to develop in children around two to three years of age (Kuhn, Nash, & Brucken, 1978;Signorella, Bigler, & Liben, 1993). As children grow older, stereotypes about sports, occupations, and adult roles expand, and their gender associations become more sophisticated (Sinno & Killen 2009). Prior work demonstrates the importance of piquing the interest of girls during their formative early childhood and elementary years before gender stereotypes regarding these traditionally masculine fields are ingrained in later years (Metz, 2007;Steele, 1997).…”
