#childrens-perceptions

What I asked them to do was simple; I said, "Draw a scientist." I didn't give them any other directions. I didn't make up this experiment-researchers have been asking children of various ages to "Draw a scientist" for more than five decades. They don't do this because they are interested in children's art; instead, they are interested in how children think about scientists and, more specifically, whether they think of them as male or female.
