Parental Power as a Potential Influence on Girls' Career Choice.
Lavine, Linda O.
Child Development, v53 n3 p658-63 Jun 1982
Children 7 through 11 years of age were interviewed to determine their career preferences, the degree to which they perceive occupations as limited to one sex exclusively, and their perceptions of their parents' power distribution. Information was also collected on parents' jobs. Data were analyzed using sex typing of preferred career as the dependent variable. (Author/RH)
