    Study Notes

    Gendered Bodies in Preschool

    • Masculine Gender is not only mental but also physical, with Connell suggesting it is tied to a powerful bodily feeling.
    • Feminine Gender is often associated with anxiety and doubt about the body's abilities, potentially leading to a lack of confidence in other areas.
    • Physical Restraint of boys in preschool can potentially contribute to disruptive behavior.
    • Preschool Curriculum subtly influences gendered behavior through clothing choices, dress-up play, and even movement restrictions.
    • Pink Clothing is strongly associated with girls (61% of girls in study wore pink), while boys generally avoided the color.
    • Formal Behavior Expected in preschool settings (sitting upright, raising hands, etc.) is often seen as more aligned with girls.
    • Relaxed Behavior (crawling on the floor, yelling loudly) considered inappropriate in preschools, and girls often receive reprimands for this behavior.
    • Dress-Up Play allows children to explore gender roles and potentially shape their self-perception through mimicking gendered behaviors.
    • Girls were found to use more physical restraint against other children, often taking the role of disciplinarian.
    • Gendered Behavior in 3-year-old girls and boys was more similar than in 5-year-olds, suggesting a potential increase in gendered behavior with age.
