Effect of Gender on the Physical Play Competence of Preschoolers

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to analyze the effect of gender on the physical play competence of preschoolers. It was to try to identify the hypothesis that the image of a man stereotype of the movement and the gender label to the movement play made the physical play competence more enhanced in boys than in girls. The findings were as follows; 1. An image of a man stereotype of the movement alone doesn't influence the physical play competence of preschoolers. 2. The gender label to the movement play controls not only the boy but also girl to select playing, and influences the physical play competence of preschoolers.
