No sex differences were found in preference for pink in any of the three societies not influenced by global culture (ds ? 0.31?0.23), in contrast to a female preference for pink in the global city (d {\textequals} 1.24). Results suggest that the pairing of female and pink is a cultural phenomenon and is not driven by an essential preference for pink in girls.}}, journal = {{Child Development}}, volume = {92}, number = {4}, pages = {1574--1589}, }
