 note = {P(論文), The purpose of this article is to examine some of the contributions of children’s parents and mass media on gender formation of preschool children based on an analysis of questionnaires to parents.
In the field of sociology of education, children’s gender socialization and gender formation are important issues. However, there have been few studies on gender which focus on preschool children, focusing instead on other aspects of the preschool child’s life. This study focuses on several aspects of preschool children’s lives as related to their gender formation: roles of their parents and mass media.
I conducted a research in March 2001, in which 143 preschool children’s parents (both female and male) in Miyazaki and Hiroshima Prefecture responded to three kinds of questionnaire. Questions about children’s daily lives, their contact with mass media, and the children's extracurricular lessons, and so on. I analyzed (1) some aspects of preschool children’s gender schema on their preferences of mass media and their daily lives, (2) the contribution of mass media and their parents’ disciplines to the children’s gender schema.
The findings are as follows: Firstly, children act differently in terms of their gender: their preference of mass media, their daily lives, and their extracurricular lessons. Secondly, the parents reported that their children (especially for boys) showed a preference for characters matching their own gender. Thirdly, the parents responded that they disciplined their boys when they acted in a way that did not fit their gender. Fourthly, female parents more than male parents reported that women can engage in working, housekeeping and child-rearing. Female parents who did not think that women can work and raise children continue to see their daughters in stereotype roles, while female parents who did think that women can work and raise children tended to see their daughters less stereotypically. Finally, children’s engagements in sports were related to their female parents’ gender role attitudes.
I discussed these results in terms of asymmetry in the children’s gender formation, the contribution of their parents, and the relations of sports and gender in terms of gender formation.},
