On the Reciprocal Relationship between Gender and Occupation: Rethinking the Assumptions Concerning Masculine Career Development.

Fitzgerald, Louise F.; Cherpas, Catherine C.

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v27 n1 p109-22 Aug 1985

The present paper suggests the utility of viewing masculine career behavior as an extension of male sex role, and investigates counselors' reactions to an experimental analog of the vocational counseling process. As predicted, the counselors demonstrated negative reactions to a male aspiring to a nontraditional (i.e., feminine) occupation. (Author/BL)
