“…Regarding occupational sextyping, studies have consistently indicated that women's perceptions tend to be less stereotyped and more liberal than those of men. Such views have been shown to transcend national boundaries (Galin & Dubin, 1991;Kulik, 1995) and prevail at every stage of the life cycle (Evelo, Jessell, & Beymer, 1991;Flerx, Fidler & Rogers, 1976;Kulik, 1997;Marantz & Mansfield, 1977;O'Keefe & Hyde, 1983). It was thus hypothesized that regardless of social environment (kibbutz or city), adolescent girls will have more liberal views than their male counterparts regarding gender roles and occupational sex-typing.…”

“…The latter showed gender differences on several scales and for the structure of underlying dimensions. A novel stimulus format for assessing occupational preferences was developed and described by Evelo, Jessell, and Beymer (1991). They presented 18 different occupations in a retirement home setting on two videotapes.…”

The purpose of this review was to integrate information from selected journal articles, book chapters, and a few books published in 1991 about careers. More than 140 entries were selected from more than 400 identified and were organized under three broad categories: ( a ) understanding careers, ( b ) t h e context of careers, and (c) career interventions. Each category was subdivided into thematic sections containing several entries on the same topic. The material, both from individual entries and integrated themes, was interpreted as lessons for the professional development of counselors, program planners, and researchers.At a recent presentation I attended, the speaker introduced her topic by describing a puzzling experience from her clinical internship. When a consulting strategy seemed somewhat arbitrary she inquired about the rationale. Her supervisor said he believed it was appropriate based on research summarized in a literature review. She checked and found not one, but several respected reviews drew conclusions supporting her supervisor's belief. Further digging revealed that apparently only two studies had ever addressed the problem directly, but their findings had been cited over and over again. The skeptical intern carried out her own research and David A.

Gender differences in rural eighth-grade students' curricular, career, and lifestyle expectations were examined. Girls expect to take more math classes in high school, select careers that require a college education, and plan to go to college more frequently than do boys. Boys and girls do not differ in their interest in various careers, although girls prefer occupations that involve people, whereas boys prefer occupations that involve things. Girls plan to work for as many years of their lives as do boys; however, girls are more likely to expect to work part-time, whereas boys expect to work full-time. Counseling implications are offered.As women expand their presence in the workforce, a pronounced quest for knowledge exists to understand the differences between men's and women's career and lifestyle expectations and the role that these differences play in inequalities in the workforce. With greater understanding, strategies may be offered by counselors to assist students in their career development.Over the past decade, young women at secondary and postsecondary school levels have begun to express more similarities to men in their career aspirations (Gerstein, Lichtman, & B m h , 1988; Harmon, 1989;Katz, 1986). Numerous factors, however, seem to impede the fulfillment by women of these comparable aspirations, such as real and perceived barriers, gender role orientation issues (Keith,
