N2 - The present study examines the effect of adults' gender, gender identity, and ethnicity on their stereotyping of children's chores in Israeli society. The sample consists of 238 married and single participants (81 men and 157 women). With respect to children's chores, five main categories are examined: domestic, help with siblings, self-care, outside, and technical. The findings reveal that the impact of geder identity (according to the terms of gender schema theory) on stereotyping of children's chores was less than expected and therefore do not support the research hypotheses. Moreover, the impact of gender was greater than that of gender identity: Women tend to develop less stereotyped attitudes toward children's chores than men do. No effect is found for the participant's country of birth, but mother's country of birth does have an effect.
