A conceptual framework for organizing the constructs and content areas included in research on sex typing is presented in the review of recent research on the development of sex typing. Two major themes are discussed. First, sex-typed play activities and interests emerge clearly in the first few years of life. Both play activities and peer preferences are sex typed earlier and more definitely than are personality traits and social behaviors such as aggression or dependency. It is suggested that researches have underemphasized the importance of interests, activities and peer associations while overemphasizing personality attributes as the core of sex typing. The 2nd theme is that cognitions and concepts about sex typing are important in the acquisition of gender typing, but they are not sufficient by themselves for understanding the process by which sex-typed behavior is acquired. Children''s sex-role concepts are sometimes related to their behavioral preferences, but other factors are also important influences on behavior.
