“…Although this sample was drawn from three universities in the United States with different student characteristics, there was a lack of minority students in the overall sample. A more representative sample would be important because African American occupational values may differ from those of European Americans (Hartung et al 2010;Lee 1984;Ng and Sears 2010). Furthermore, African American women are more likely to be classified as masculine or androgynous than white women and African American men and women are less polarized on the BSRI than are white men and women (Harris 1996).…”

The Role of Masculinity/Femininity, Values, and Occupational Value Affordances in Shaping Young Men’s and Women’s Occupational Choices

Gender differences in occupational values have been well-established, yet little research has examined the predictive qualities of individual difference variables such as self-perceived masculinity/femininity on values and these constructs' predictive role in the traditionality and perceived value affordances of future occupations-or the values persons expect a job to fulfill. Undergraduates (185 males, 401 females) from the Eastern, Southern, and Midwestern United States reported their occupational values, self-perceived masculinity/femininity, expected occupations, and the perceived value affordances of these jobs. Results indicated significant relationships among selfperceived masculinity/femininity, value endorsements, and the perceptions of value affordances. Results also indicated some differences among the three subsamples as well as gender differences across subsamples. Also, value endorsements mediated the relationships between self-perceived masculinity/femininity and traditionality and self-perceived masculinity/femininity and perceived value affordances.Thus, the values associated with jobs and personal value endorsements are important variables in career choice. The implications of these findings are discussed, and it is suggested that perceptions of occupational value affordances may be an entry point for intervention when trying to reduce occupational gender segregation.

“…In a longitudinal study, Johnson (2001) found that the proportion of individuals rating multiple values as ''very important'' declined with age; by late adolescence, individuals highly endorsed only a select subset of occupational values. Once adolescents become selective, they generally value money, security, and family time more highly than power and responsibility (Lee, 1984;Thomas, 1986). Little is known, however, about occupational values among children younger than adolescents, despite calls for life-span approaches to understanding career development (Hartung, Porfeli, & Vondracek, 2008).…”

Work fulfills personal values, perhaps differently for males and females. Explored here was the role values play in shaping occupational interests. Study 1 examined children's, adolescents', and adults' (N = 313) occupational values (regarding money, power, family, altruism), occupational interests, and perceptions of values afforded by traditionally masculine and feminine occupations. Results revealed sex differences in occupational values and interests. Furthermore, participants' values predicted their own interests in culturally masculine and feminine occupations. Study 2 used novel jobs and experimentally manipulated prototypical sex of worker and value affordances to disentangle their effects on occupational interests. At all ages, participants' (N = 240) occupational interests were affected by the depicted sex of the workers and by the stated value affordances of the jobs.

“…The conditions and characteristics typical of rural settings are influenced by certain variables. Three key variables are socioeconomic status, density of population, and economic viability (Helge, 1984;Lee, 1984). In terms of socioeconomic status, classifications of the rural area could vary from deprived to enriched.…”

“…Of course the type of rural area will dictate the emphasis within the generalist domain. For example, in terms of career guidance, areas of increasingly greater industry might emphasize opportunities close at hand, while an area of deteriorating commerce might emphasize relocation skills and military service (Lee, 1984).…”
