Abstract
When children (fourth to seventh graders) perceive themselves as similar to their same- or cross-gendered peers, gender-based stereotypes more strongly predict sexist beliefs (parenting and dating). Gender stereotypes bear no relation to their sexist beliefs as long as children perceive themselves to be similar to at least one gender.
