PROPOSING AND ANALYZING THE GENDER STEREOTYPE BEHAVIOR MODEL IN CHOOSING CHILDREN'S TOYS WITH SIMULATION DATA
Abstract: The gender
stereotype behavior model in choosing children's toys consists of three latent
variables i.e. the biological factor, cultural factor, and psychological
characteristic. The later variable is endogen whilst the rests are exogenous
and covariance. Each latent variable is converted by two observed variables
i.e. the gender stereotype behavior and child rearing practice for describing
the cultural influence; the testosterone hormone level and the preference in
choosing partner based on race reason for describing the biological factor;
aggressive behavior and spatial cognitive ability for describing psychological
characteristic. Using the simulation data, the model is modified e.g. the
spatial observed variable should be correlated with the gender stereotype
observed variable. The modification model produces the significance level with
the p = .171, the GFI is .990, and the RMSEAis .045. Those three crucial
measurements have been appropriate to obtain the fit model. It is expected that
the simulation data can explain the proposed model. Beside that it is proved
that the biological factor is the covariance of the cultural influence (p <
.05).
