- Children pay closer attention to same sex models once they reached the stage of gender constancy
- Slaby and Frey 1975
- Sample between 2 and 5. each child was asked a series of questions to examine which stage of Kohlberg;s model they have reached
- Children with high score indicating high or low gender constancy were selected and compared
