父母性別角色教養態度與幼兒玩具選擇偏好之關聯

Abstract

本研究旨在了解幼兒父母性別角色教養態度與其玩具選擇偏好之現況，並檢測兩者間的關係，也檢驗背景因素中幼兒的年齡、性別不同，其父母性別角色教養態度及玩具選擇偏好是否不同。本研究以210位小班、中班和大班的幼兒為研究對象，這些受試幼兒來自台北市與台中市的三所公立幼稚園及五所私立幼稚園。研究過程中，以家長填寫的「幼兒性別特質問卷」收集受試幼兒的父母性別角色教養態度資料，並透過「幼兒玩具選擇偏好作業」進行一對一訪談，輔以書面記錄方式，藉此了解幼兒玩具選擇偏好狀況，研究結果發現： 一、整體而言，父母對受試幼兒的性別角色教養態度以兩性化趨向最高，未分化次之。而且父母對男生女性化教養的百分比高於男性化教養；對女生男性化教養的百分比高於女性化教養。 二、不同性別、年齡的受試幼兒父母在性別角色教養態度上無顯著差異。 三、不同年齡的受試幼兒在玩具選擇偏好上無顯著差異，但不同性別的受試幼兒在玩具的選擇上有顯著差異。男生選擇男性象徵玩具的百分最高。女生選擇女性象徵玩具的百分比最高。 四、父母性別角色教養態度並不影響幼兒的玩具選擇偏好。

This research was to explore the parenting of genderrole, young children’s toy preference, and the relationship between the two, as well as further to investigate the relationship among the parenting of gender role, young children’s age and sex, and their toy preference. The subjects were 210 young children aged four, five and six years from three public and five private kindergartens in Taipei and Taichung City. Each child’s father or mother completed the “Young Children’s Sex Role Inventory” questionnaire. In addition, all subjects participated in“Young Children’s Toy Preference Tasks” during clinical interview. The results showed as follows: 1. Parenting of gender role shows more tendency of androgyny and undifferentiated. 2. There is no obvious difference between young children’s sex and their parenting of gender role and neither is between age and the parenting of gender role. 3. There is no significant difference between young children’s age and their toy preference. However, the remarkable difference between young children’s sex and their toy preference is found. The percentage of boys choosing toys with stereotypically masculine symbols is higher than that of girls. In contrast, the percentage of girls preferring the toys with stereotypically feminine symbols is higher than that of boys. 4. Parenting of gender role has no impact on young children’s toy preference.
