Abstract: Following the findings of Ross and Boss (1972), Fling and Manosevity (1972) and others, which indicated that males adhere more strongly to stereotyped sex-role behavior and resist efforts to change behaviors more strongly than do females, it was hypothesized that intensive exposure to non-sexist books would be viewed as an effort to alter sex role behavior and would, thereby, produce more stereotyped sex-role preferences among the males, but little change among the females.
