Who Cares About Being Gentle? The Impact of Social Identity and the Gender of Oneâs Friends on Childrenâs Display of Same-Gender Favoritism
This research assessed childrenâs same-gender favoritism by examining whether children value traits descriptive of their own gender more than traits descriptive of the other gender. We also investigated whether childrenâs proportion of same-gender friends relates to their same-gender favoritism. Eighty-one third and fourth grade children from the Midwest and West Coast of the U.S. rated how well 19 personality traits describe boys and girls, and how important each trait is for their gender to possess. Results replicate and extend past trait assignment research by demonstrating that both genders valued same-gender traits significantly more than other-gender traits. Results also indicated that boys with many same-gender friends derogated feminine-stereotyped traits, which has implications for research on masculinity norms within male-dominated peer groups

Law, the Digital and Time: The Legal Emblems of Doctor Who
This article is about time. It is about time, or more precisely, about the absence of time in lawâs digital future. It is also about time travelling and the seemingly ever-popular BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who. Further, it is about lawâs timefullness; about lawâs pictorial past and the âvisual baroqueâ of its chronological fused future. Ultimately, it is about a time paradox of seeing time run to a time when time runs âNo More!â This âtimey-wimeyâ article is in three parts. The first part looks to a hazy remembered past of the legal emblem tradition as presented in Peter Goodrichâs Legal Emblems and the Art of Law to learn visual literacy and also to glimpse the essential elements of modern legality with authority, decision and violence. The second part maps how these images and icons of modern legality are manifest in the Doctor Who fiftieth year anniversary special âThe Day of the Doctor.â The third stage looks beyond these first order meanings to understand the chronological chaos of âThe Day of the Doctor.â The technicity of the image as a portal through time and space that the narrative revolves around charts the implications for the digital end of time for law.Arts, Education & Law Group, School of LawFull Tex
