Increasing Similarity in the Values and Life Plans of Male and Female College Students? Evidence and Implications

Fiorentine, Robert

Sex Roles, v18 n3-4 p143-58 Feb 1988

From 1969 to 1984 the value women put on status-attainment goals has increased, but the value placed on domestic-nurturant goals has not decreased. This shows an amalgamation rather than a masculinization of feminine values. The increase in women aspiring to graduate degrees was greater than for men. Implications are discussed. (VM)
