TLDR
In this article, a longitudinal study of the career planning of college women is presented, focusing on careeroriented girls who choose male-dominated occupations, suggesting that these women are different from non-career oriented women who choose traditionally feminine occupations, in terms of dating, extra-curricular activities, relationships with parents, and work values.Abstract:
In a longitudinal study of the career planning of college women, attention is focused on careeroriented girls who choose male-dominated occupations. A "deviance hypothesis" suggesting that these women are different from non-career oriented women who choose traditionally feminine occupations, in terms of dating, extra-curricular activities, relationships with parents, and work values receives only limited support. An alternative hypothesis stressing the effects of broadening and enriching experiences on career planning is well supported when data on the mothers' work histories, the students' own work experience and the influence of occupational role models are taken into account.read more

The concept of development in vocational theory and intervention
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory of life-span vocational role development is proposed, which must meet the conceptual and methodological requirements of a developmental approach, and it must be relational in the sense that it provides for the examination of the "goodness of fit" between individual and contextual developments.

Sex role learning in the nuclear family.
TL;DR: It is argued that "very little is known" about parental behavior and identification processes, not because there are no data, but because there is no adequate theoretical explanation to which existing findings can be assimilated and thereby become "known."
