Attitude Changes in Children after Exposure to Stories about Women in Traditional or Nontraditional Occupations.
Ashby, Marylee Stull; Wittmaier, Bruce C.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v70 n6 p945-49 Dec 1978
Twenty-nine fourth grade girls were read stories with women either in traditional roles or nontraditional roles. Girls who heard nontraditional stories rated traditionally male jobs and characteristics as appropriate for females more than girls who heard traditional stories. Results are discussed in terms of sexual bias and girls' aspirations. (Author/RD)
