In individual sessions with 150 preschool children aged two through four, they were asked to choose which parent (in the next room) they wanted to participate with them in each of seven play activities. The purpose was to investigate hypotheses about parent preference in a theory of sex-role and parental identification. Boys showed a strong father preference (p <. 01). Girls showed no parent preference when age groups were combined whereas afather preference was significant (p = . 049) in two-year-old girls, and a mother preference was significant (p .024) in fbur-yearold girls, with three-year-old girls showing no significant preference
