- W939251590 abstract "To date, no study of occupationally asextypical women has compared a group of women in predominantly male fields to women of equal education in predominantly female fields. The correlates of academic attainment and atypicality of career choice are therefore confounded in the literature. The purpose of the present study was twofold. The first was to determine whether there would be correlates of asextypicality above and beyond those related to academic achievement and to determine the nature of these, in a design comparing asextypical professional women to their equally educated sextypical counterparts. A secondary purpose was to see if Bern's finding of an association between low sex-typing on the Bern Sex Role Inventory and willingness to engage in cross-sex laboratory behavior would generalize to asextypical occupational behavior, and to experiment with the use of situation-specific instructions on the BSRI in the process. Participants were recruited from a variety of agencies, industries, and other sources in the Rhode Island and eastern Massachusetts area. For inclusion, women were required to be American-born, under 50, employed at least 20 hours weekly in either sextypical or asextypical employment, and to have earned the masters degree in 1974 or earlier. The 166 recruits were each sent a data package which they were to return by mail and which included, (1) the Bern Sex Role Inventory (three instructional sets, “On the job” and “in a social situation self-descriptions and your ideal woman” (2) biographical questionnaire, and (3) the Cattell 16PF, Form A. Eighty-two percent, or 135 women returned the data package. Both groups were found to be characterized by factors consonant with their high level of education, for example, high parental education, high family stability, adequate SES, white race, and family values consistent with upward mobility and academic success. Relative to women in general, both groups tended to score high on such competency-related traits on the Cattell as intelligence, forthrightness, self-sufficiency, and assertiveness. On the BSRI both groups tended to be highly androgynous, showing almost equal and high endorsement of positive items of both masculine and feminine stereotypes. In comparison with the sextypical women, the asextypical women were younger, more likely to be firstborn, to have had working mothers, and to mention males as important influences on their career development. Trends suggesting higher achievement motivation in asextypical women and greater conventionality amongt he sextypical women were also noted. On the Cattell, the asextypical women showed more extreme" @default.
