Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the relation between the sex role stereotypes with the mother's educational level and play and toys preferences of children of 7-8 years old. At this aim, 'Sex Role Stereotypes Measure II' was used to determine sex stereotypes of children and a questionnaire was used to determine mother's opinions about their children's toy and game preferences. The statistical data of between sex role stereotypes of children and the mother's educational level was processed by methods of One Way Analysis of Variance and Tukeys-HSD was also used to find which group was more significant. The mothers' opinions about their children's toys and play preferences were indicated by using percentages (%) and frequencies (f) with tables. The result of the study; it was determined that sex role stereotypes of the children increased if there was more of a mother's educational level. In addition, it was determined that the male students were found to be more sex-stereotypical than female students. Also, it was seen that the mother's educational level didn't influence their children's play and toy preferences. Although the children's gender affected their toy preferences. It was seen that while the girls preferred dolls, food and utensils which are traditionally seen feminine toys, the boys preferred cars, guns and trucks etc. which are traditionally seen as masculine toys.
