Sex Differences and Age Trends in Occupational Preference and Occupational Prestige

Barnett, Rosalind C.

Journal of Counseling Psychology, 22, 1, 35-38, Jan 75

This research studied sex differences and age trends in the relationship of occupational preferences and aversions and occupational prestige. The relationships between preference and prestige were positive and stronger for the males than for the females. Males learn to prefer prestigious occupations; females learn to avoid them. (Author)
