NGRO = Normative Gender Role Attitudes. Desirability judgments range from 1 to 7, with higher values indicating higher desirability of a given type of toy; Gender-typing scores range from 1 to 100, with higher values indicating stronger gender-typing of toys; NGRO scores range from 1 to 7, with higher values indicating more traditional gender role attitudes. The smallest cell size was 33 for fathers thinking of daughters. Toy desirability judgments and gender-typing of toys are converted scores
