Gendered Career Choice: Is Sex-Stereotyping the Cause or the Consequence?
Lightbody, Pauline; Durndell, Alan
Educational Studies, v22 n2 p133-46 Jun 1996
Reports on a study where students were given characteristics of a target pupil and then asked which career area that pupil would pursue. Although the given characteristics refuted traditional stereotypes (male/social interests, female/technical interests) the students maintained that the target pupil would choose traditional careers.
