firefighter and police officer. Tina thought that girls were not suited to
be archeologists or presenters in adventure documentaries, who have
muscular bodies. Both children agreed that their parents had said nothing
about which careers boys or girls were suited to, a point on which
the parents concurred.
All parents, except Tina’s mother, suggested that there were differences
in male and female careers. Tina’s mother thought women could work
like men because her workload was as heavy as a man’s. The other three
parents thought it was unnecessary for girls to commit to a career and
make good money because they would not need to support a family, and
thus girls could choose whatever careers they liked. By contrast, boys
were expected to endure hardship to establish a career to earn well to
support their families. Parents also gave examples of careers that they
thought were not suitable for boys or girls. For example, Xiaoming’s
father thought boys were not suitable for feminine career positions
such as nurse and kindergarten teacher. However, despite holding such
beliefs, none of the parents believed that they conveyed career gender
stereotypes to their children.
