Sixty four children from a small town in New South Wales, Australia were tested for sex typing with the Franck drawing completion test. This device was used since it is suitable for younger children, and is not subject to conscious distortion. Males and females showed differences in mean scores, but no differences in mean scores were found related to other independent variables, age and social class. However, analysis of the variances of children's responses indicated the importance of social class as a main effect (working class children showed much smaller variance in responses), and the importance of interactions between age, sex, and social class, in sex stereotyping
