A Comparison of Career, Home, and Leisure Values of Male and Female Students in Engineering and the Sciences.

Cooper, Stewart E.; Robinson, Debra A. G.

Journal of College Student Personnel, v28 n1 p66-70 Jan 1987

Survey of 100 female and 100 male college students revealed that female students entering nontraditional career areas still experience greater conflict between the importance of their work and home values than do men in the same occupational majors. Yet, the two sexes share many similarities in their career-related values and values toward home and family. (Author/KS)
