Subjects were 120 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-year-old children, with 15 boys and 15 girls in each age group. Using the MacArthur Story Stem Battery(Bretherton et al., 1990), observations were made to obtain children`s narrative representations of their mothers. content themes and emotional responses. Boys` representations were more negative and less positive than girls` regardless of their age. Boys talked about more aggressive themes and showed more anxiety and less joy.
