Increasing Nontraditional Career Choices in Women: Relation of Attitudes toward Women and Response to a Career Intervention.

Foss, Carol J.; Slaney, Robert B.

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v28 n3 p191-202 Jun 1986

Examined whether college women, grouped according to scores on the Attitudes Toward Women Scale (AWS) were differentially affected by a videotape career intervention. Results indicated AWS scores were related to the traditionality of the careers chosen for the subjects' hypothetical daughters and to self-efficacy. Careers chosen were more nontraditional after intervention. (Author/BL)
