A total of 119 preschool-aged children were assessed with the Sex Role Learning Index, a picture-choice instrument designed to compare children''s preferences to both sex role stereotypes and each child''s conception of what is sex appropriate. Boys showed higher masculine preferences in the section depicting child figures than in the section depicting adult figures, while girls showed more feminine preferences in the adult figures than child figures section. Boys were more masculine in their preferences than girls were feminine in the child figures section, but not in the adult figures section. Girls adhered more to their own conceptions of what is sex appropriate than to sex role stereotypes in the child figures section. Boys'' scores in the adult figures section correlated significantly with mental age and IQ, while girls scores in the child figures section correlated with chronological age. Boys'' scores were significantly correlated with scores on Brown''s It Scale for Children, but girls'' scores were not.
