Abstract	Attitudes about male caregivers in child daycare were explored in two studies. In Study 1 participants (N = 301) read a written vignette asking them to imagine themselves as parents who are choosing a daycare centre for their infant. Using a 2 × 2 between-subjects design, the sex of the caregiver and that of the child were randomly manipulated in the vignette. Participants were then asked about whether and why they'd choose the centre for their infant. Study 2 involved semi-structured interviews with daycare centre professionals (N = 10) about their attitudes regarding male caregivers. The interviews were analyzed qualitatively for emerging themes. Results from the two sets of data converge to suggest that a negative social bias is widely "perceived" to be a barrier to the inclusion of men in daycare work. At the same time, empirical evidence directly "demonstrating" such (explicit or implicit) bias remains elusive. (As Provided).
