Empathy: Gender effects in brain and behavior (2014, background): “This may occur due to different selective pressures on males and females because of their different behavioral roles, with females more often being the primary caretakers of offspring (Alexander and Hines, 2002), helping to practice relevant skills for survival and reproduction (Smith, 2010).”
Beyond the right hemisphere: brain mechanisms mediating vocal emotional processing. (2006, background): “These preferences cannot be overruled by parental influences [67] and can be observed even in monkeys [ 68 ].”
Characteristics of Boys' and Girls' Toys (2005, methodology): “In fact, some recent research has shown differences in preferences for stereotyped masculine and feminine toys, even among young nonhuman primates ( Alexander & Hines, 2002 ).”
School leadership, sex and gender: welcome to difference (2008, background): “Animal research has shown, for example, that sex differences in toy preferences are not so much determined by boy’s and girl’s gender socialization as by genetic predisposition stemming from their sex (Alexander and Hines 2002).”
On the Development and Measurement of Spatial Ability. (2009, background): “A group of researchers propose that innate biological differences and the brain development also have influence on those issues (Alexander and Hines, 2002, cited in Green et al., 2004).”
Sex Differences in Aggression in Real-World Settings: A Meta-Analytic Review (2004, unknown): “There is evidence of early sex-typical preferences for social or physical stimuli (Connellan, Baron-Cohen, Wheelwright, Batki, & Ahluwalia, 2000; Lutchmaya, Baron-Cohen, & Raggatt, 2002) and play activities (Alexander & Hines, 2002; Campbell, Shirley, Heywood, & Crook, 2000).”
Gender Differences in Spatial Ability: Implications for STEM Education and Approaches to Reducing the Gender Gap for Parents and Educators (2017, background): “Male primates express greater interest and play longer with stereotypically masculine toys such as balls, cars, and trucks while female primates preferred dolls and plush animals (Alexander & Hines, 2002; Hassett, Siebert, & Wallen, 2008).”
