  16. Purpose This study is to examine children’s gendered language during middle childhood and how this is influenced by linguistic and social context.

  17. Hypothesis • Hypothesis 1: Children would change their speech to become more similar to that employed by the experimenter. • Hypothesis 2: Children might accommodate their speech to experimenter gender; however , the influence was expected to be less than that of the experimenter.

  18. Hypothesis 3: Older children would accommodate more than younger children to the gender-preferential speech style of the experimenter. • Hypothesis 4: Boys with strong stereotyped beliefs would accommodate less to the speech style of the experimenter than would boys who did not hold strong sex role beliefs.

  19. Method • Participants • Experimenter speech style manipulation • Procedure • Coding

  20. Results • Experimenter speech styles manipulations • Children speech behavior • Stereotype results

  21. Conclusion • Children accommodate their speech style depending on who they are talking to regardless if they were talking to someone who was or wasn't pertaining to their gender. • Second, when speech style was controlled, the children’s speech did not vary as a function of their own or the experimenters gender • Last, the finding show how gendered beliefs shape conversational behavior.
