Abstract | This study examined gender roles and career orientation among 126 male and 126 female fourth through sixth grade gifted students. The Children's Sex Role Test was used to assess masculinity, femininity, and androgyny. While results showed more gender appropriate scores for males than females, overall more boys than girls were classified as androgynous. Both genders overwhelmingly expressed interest in professional occupations, but boys gave their reason for this choice as "challenge" while girls explained their choice in terms of "concern for others." Boys chose traditionally masculine careers more often, but a trend was observed for girls to choose these careers more often in upper grades. Contains 18 references. (PB) |
