Sex and Social Class Differences in Work Values

Hales, Loyde W.; Fenner, Bradford J.

Elementary School Guidance and Counseling, 8, 1, 26-32, Oct 73

Sixth grade pupils from a junior high school in Southeastern Ohio were given the OWVI. No significant differences among social classes were found in work values. Significant differences were found between boys and girls in three work values--Altruism, Object Orientation, and Solitude. However, similarities outweighed differences between the value hierarchies of boys and girls. (EK)
