Students' Self-Estimated and Actual Knowledge of Gender Traditional and Nontraditional Occupations.

Yanico, Barbara J.; Mihlbauer, Therese C.

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v22 n3 p278-87 Jun 1983

Investigated the degree and congruence of students' (N=58) estimated and actual information about gender traditional occupations. Results showed subjects of each sex perceived themselves as less informed about nontraditional occupations. This result was more pronounced for women. Additionally, men and women did not differ in actual knowledge. (Author/JAC)
