Abstract

The aim was to examine whether the selection of personality traits of mothers raising sons and daughters want and do not want them to develop differs between the groups of mothers bringing up boys and girls.
The study involved 158 mothers of children attending kindergartens (82 mothers of boys and 76 mothers of girls) in Poland. The analyzes were performed using: (a) text mining algorithms and (b) support vector machine.
In the case of desirable goals mothers of boys choose goals that are in line with the stereotype of a man, but they also try to develop features from the group of community. The mothers of girls choose goals associated mainly with the formation of independence, resourcefulness and community.

Keywords:

parental goals, shaping personality traits, text mining algorithms, support vector machine SVM
