Reading a tale of deception, learning a theory of mind
Children's Understanding of False Beliefs in Two Contexts
The present study explored the link between narrative and theory of mind by comparing 26 preschool-age children's understanding of false beliefs in standard theory-of-mind tasks and in the context of a folktale narrative. The central finding, that older children made more correct predictions of false beliefs in both contexts, was taken as support for the contention that the general change in understanding representation that underlies children's …
Toward Understanding the Contributions of Sex and Situation to Behavior in a College Setting
The relative contribution of sex and situation has become a contested issue in the understanding of sex differences in behavior. In the present study, 20 male and 20 female undergraduates were asked to describe their behavior and thoughts in six everyday college situations. Three of the situations were constructed to be typically male and three typically female in content. The results indicate that men and women demonstrate sex-specific character…

Sex Differences in the Development of a Separate Sense of Self During Infancy
Women have been characterized as having more difficulty than men in developing a separate sense of self. This sex difference is held to have its origins in infancy in the differential response of mothers to sons and daughters. While there is clinical evidence for this sex difference, as yet there is no clear support for it in the experimental literature. In this paper we provide a foundation for future experimental research on the origins in moth…
Sex Differences in the Interaction of Adults and Preschool Children
The interaction between adults and preschool children was observed while children engaged in a group arts-and-crafts activity. Subjects were 16 male and 16 female children and 2 male and 2 female adults. The percentage of times the child's satisfactory task behavior was followed by an adult response was used as the measure to determine whether adults respond differently to boys and girls, whether this is related to different patterns of behavior …
