The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of parental socialization of mothers in sexism’s expression in children 6 and 7 years old. The participants were 30 children and their mothers. Previously the collect, it was requested the mother’s authorization for the participation of his son or her daughter. The collect had two steps – The first step was executed with the children and the second with the mothers. The interviews contained objective and subjective questions. Besides that, was also applied the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire and the Ambivalent Sexism Inventoy in the mothers. The results indicate that mothers with most flagrant sexism tend to produce a more sexist parent socialization. Contrary to our hypothesis, there was no correlation between parenting styles and gender identity of the children. However, we found out that more authoritarian and permissive mothers socialize their children towards the hostile flagrant. These results are discussed in the light of theories of parental socialization and ambivalent sexism. / O objetivo desta pesquisa foi investigar o efeito da socialização parental das mães na expressão do sexismo em crianças de 6 e 7 anos de idade. Participaram da pesquisa 30 crianças e suas respectivas mães. Precedente a coleta, foi solicitada às mães a autorização para a participação do(a) seu(sua) filho(a). A coleta possuiu duas etapas – uma realizada com as crianças e outra com as mães. As entrevistas continham perguntas abertas e fechadas. Também foram aplicados o Questionário de Estilos e Dimensões Parentais e o Inventário de Sexismo Ambivalente nas mães. Os resultados indicam que mães com sexismo mais flagrantes tendem a produzir uma socialização mais sexista. Contrariando a nossa hipótese, não houve correlação entre os estilos parentais e a identidade de gênero das crianças. Contudo, encontramos que mães mais autoritárias e permissivas socializam seus filhos na direção do sexismo flagrante. Estes resultados são discutidos à luz das teorias sobre socialização parental e do sexismo ambivalente.

This longitudinal study examined the association between parents’ early and concurrent gender ideology and gendered behaviors and their children’s gender-role attitudes at age six. Specifically, parents' global beliefs about women's and men's "rightful" roles in society, as well as their work preferences for mothers, were considered in relation to the gender-role attitudes held by their first-graders. In addition, parents’ gendered behaviors, including their division of household and childcare tasks, division of paid work hours, and job traditionality were examined as predictors of children’s gender-role attitudes. Based on previous research, it was hypothesized parents’ early and concurrent behavior and ideology would predict children’s gender-role attitudes in unique ways, and that overall, parents' behavior would be more influential than their ideology in the development of their children's understanding of gender roles. It was also hypothesized that fathers’ ideologies would be more closely related to sons’ attitudes than daughters’ attitueds. Partial support was found for these hypotheses, and findings varied across three measures of children’s gender-role attitudes. The present study is the first of its kind to examine the relationships between both mothers’ and fathers’ gender ideology and gendered behavior with children’s gender-role attitudes from a longitudinal perspective. Findings from the current study will fill gaps in the literature on children’s gender development in the context of the family, and offer the benefit of a longitudinal exploration of the relationship between parents’ gender ideologies, gendered behavior, and children’s gender-role attitudes. Several limitations, including those related to the nature of the sample, are addressed.
