“…As youngsters orient to higher level activities, they will endorse more of these less stereotyped items (along with the usual stereotyped ones) ,and thus seem less stereotyped. Differences in intelligence and developmental level would therefore be expected to be associated with more "androgynous" interests, and this does seem to be the case because people who aspire to highlevel jobs have less sextyped interests than people who aspire to low-level ones (e.g., Diamond, 1971).…”

“…It is not surprising, therefore, to find "macho" ideology and behavior among many working class men who resist women entering their world and destroying the illusion that only men are capable of the work. This is consistent with the fact that lower-level jobs are more sextyped than are higher-level ones (see Figures 2 and 3), that there may be a greater resistance to having women enter manual work than high-level male jobs (Hesselbart, 1977), that programs to increase the number of women in managerial jobs are more successful than those for blue collar jobs (U.S. Department of Labor, 1978), and that interests are less differentiated by sex in high-level jobs (Diamond, 1971).…”

“…That is, would it be possible to construct one scale? Diamond (1971) examined this question for the KOIS and found that the male-female distinction was less important for occupa tions at the high end of the occupational scale (i.e., professional occupations). They concluded that males and females within the same occupation have predom inantly the same patterns of likes and dislikes relative to their respective reference groups (men-in-general and women-in-general).…”

OverviewThis review examines some factors related to the re-entry of women to postsecondary education and draws implications for needed research. It includes areas that are necessary to the larger goals of studying educational and career patterns of re-entry women, and to the development of adequate program evaluation models. The first part of the review considers barriers and opportunities in postsecondary education for the mature woman. These barriers include college restrictions, family resis tance, and financial problems, as well as attitudinal and selfconcept characteristics. Opportunities are examined in a review of frequently proposed solutions: counseling and special pro grams. One factor that limits these solutions at present is current theory and research on career choice for women, espe cially the "re-entry" woman. These major theories are briefly noted, as well as the findings of recent research studies, in the second part of this review. The third part deals specifically with a tool used by counselors-interest inventories. The issue of sex bias in interest measurement is discussed and recent research in the area is reviewed. The review concludes with implications for needed research-theoretical, programmatical, and in the area of interest measurement. 531

This group of students is often designated by the term re-entry, to indicate that women are reentering the educational system after leaving it for time periods ranging from only a few years to as many as twenty or more years.1Recent college enrollment data collected on a national level indicate that several major changes have occurred in the college population since 1970 (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1975). In the period 1970-1974, the number of women college students h.s increased by 30% (from 3,013,000 to 3,898,000), compared to an increase for men of about 12% (from 4,401,000 to 4,924,000) and, in total, account for about 63% of the increase in college enrollment in the past four years. (The female college student population of 3,898,000 was 44% in 1974, compared with 41% in 1970.)Since 1972, the college enrollment figures have been collected on persons 35 years and older. From 1972 to 1974, the number of college students in this age group increased by 30% (from 787,000 to 1,025,000 students). The percentage of change from 1970 to 1974 for college enrollment of women of various age groups shows...
