scale. The numbers on the scale starting from one, represented that they were an adult, going down up to five
             representing that they were children. In the middle of the scale, the number three, indicated that they couldn't tell the difference or that it was neutral. At the end of the experiment they subtracted three from each of the ratings, and if the final number was negative they said the trait was adult-like. If the final number was positive they said that the trait was child-like.
             The results of the studies concluded that in study one when adults and children viewed the photographs gender stereotyping was obvious. In this study the adults used more stereotyping than did the children. The highest amount of stereotyping was seen when adults were rating images of children. In study two, they saw that masculine traits were seen as more adult-like, and feminine traits were seen as more child-like. The results show us that more stereotyping is done when adults are judging children, but it also suggests that adults should be doing less stereotyping than children because they are more mature and have already developed their personalities.
             After looking at this experiment, I see that it is pretty biased. All the subjects that Powlishta uses are white and all come from the Midwestern area. In her first study she said that she used both children and adults. She used an equal amount of boys and girls in her study but when it came to adults she used twenty-two women and six men. That may be a reason
             why she received some of the results that she did. Maybe if there were an equal amount of men in the experiment as women the results would of varied a little more. Instead of the women having equal masculine traits as men, maybe they would have had less masculine traits, as did the girls when they were compared to the boys. Another limitation in this experiment was that some of the adults had participated in bot...
