A project developed and tested methods to reduce sex-role stereotyping in occupational education programs. A total of 460 students completed two surveys that obtained information on background, education and career plans, influences on choice of occupation, perceptions of support for nontraditional career choice, and perceptions of occupational sex-stereotyping. A parent interview questionnaire determined parents' opinions about factors important in choosing a career. A program of classroom activities was developed for use with eighth and tenth graders. It included two short filmstrips, Job and Gender, Parts I and II; parent and student information on career options and employment data; classroom discussions; and required student discussion with a parent about career decision-making. (Analyses of the first survey and parent interviews and the experimental effort are provided.) Conclusions were that parents, siblings, and peers were important influences on student attitudes towards nontraditional careers. Females were more apt to consider nontraditional choices. Males evidenced greatest change in the direction of less stereotyped attitudes. By eighth grade the influence of sex-role socialization was evident. Males and females became more alike in characteristics an individual would consider in choosing an occupation. Even a brief contact period produced change toward less stereotypic attitudes. (YLB)
