A meta-data study published in the journal “Infant and Child Development” by John A. Barry of University College London’s Institute for Women’s Health, as well as colleagues from other universities, has found that young children tend to prefer toys “typed to their gender,” reports PsyPost.
According to the abstract, after examining the studies, which were conducted in multiple countries across 36 years, with a significant sample size of 1,600 children (almost evenly divided between boys and girls), the researchers found that “boys played with male-typed toys more than girls did, and girls played with female-typed toys more than boys did.”
