I live in Germany and am studying. My pedagogy (as a college subject on a course for adults studying to work with children with special needs in the widest sense) teacher told us in no uncertain terms that the difference between play styles in girls and boys is inborn. I dispute this and believe that in babies and small children (obviously puberty is the game changer) personality and socialisation are relevant not biological sex.
Can anyone point me to studies I could casually refer to? Is the famous baby experiment just this BBC one
m.youtube.com/watch?v=nWu44AqF0iI# or ist there another it's based on?
I disagreed in the lesson and she simply told me I was wrong and studies have shown gender differences (by which she meant biological sex differences) in play styles are inborn.
