The author, Allyson Jule (2011), writes the article, “Princesses in the Classroom: Young Children Learning to be Human in a Gendered World”, and argues that the princess industry affects girls’ development on gender identity negatively. Vanderkam emphasizes that the princess industry influences girls how they perceive gender images on emotional development and future ambitions and attitudes (Jule, 2011).

The article written by David Epstein and Malcolm Gladwell, “The Temin Effect”, agrees with the Temin effect and claims that people know other subjects as well beyond their major field.

To verify whether people can learn other subjects other than their major field like the Temin effect, Gurwin et al. experimented with medical students in the University of Pennsylvania to provide training sessions about art history at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and found that medical students developed observational and diagnostic skills to comprehend the basis of ophthalmology by studying art history (Epstein & Gladwel...
