“…As the world of work has been considered primarily to be the world of men, these instrumental traits have been universally believed to be necessary for success in the occupational world in general, and male-dominated occupations in particular (Spencer & Helmreich, 1980). Previous research (Erez, 1988;Feather, 1984;Feather & Said, 1983;Galejs & King, 1983; Young, 1984) also indicated that within stereotypical conceptions, traditional values from the Values Scale of Super and Nevi11 (1984) such as: Aesthetics, Altruism, Social Interaction, and Social Relations have been associated with the stereotypic female sex-norm and reported by women in traditional feminine occupations. Authority, Autonomy, Creativity, Physical Activity and Risk, on the other hand, have been seen as values which men rather than women seek more and have been associated with non-traditional (for women) occupations.…”

Cette étude a porté sur les attitudes liées au sexe, les traits expression‐instrumentalité, les valeurs et l'espoir de pouvoir exprimer ses valeurs à travers les rôles de 1'existence chez 151 étudiantes se préparant à travailler dans des secteurs non traditionnels (moins de 25% de femmes). Le groupe témoin comprenait 135 élèves‐infirmières/aides soignantes et autres de secteurs traditionnels pour les femmes. Les résultats ont fourni une validation empirique importante de l'utilité de constructions hypothétiques telles que les valeurs, l'espoir d'exprimer ses valeurs à travers les rôles de 1'existence, et confirmé la pertinence des attitudes liées au sexe et des traits expression‐instrumentalité pour l'étude des choix professionnels de femmes orientées vers des formations à des métiers traditionnellement féminins ou non. Les conséquences théoriques et sociales de ces découvertes sont discutées à partir de la théorie de 1'image de soi de Super. Les attitudes liées au sexe et les traits expression‐instrumentalité peuvent être pensés comme réfléchissant un mécanisme filtrant l'expression des valeurs, mécanisme qui fait que certaines options sont des solutions plus ou moins appropriées pour donner à l'individu la possibilité de réaliser ses valeurs. This study focuses on the sex‐role attitudes, instrumental‐expressive traits, values, and value‐attainment expectations through life‐roles, of 151 female trainees in “non‐traditional” occupational areas (less than 25% female workers). The comparison group consisted of 135 female trainees in Nursing/Nursing assistance—“traditional” occupational areas for women. The results provide important empirical validation for the utility of theoretical constructs such as values, and value‐attainment expectations through life‐roles, and supports the significance of sex‐role attitudes and instrumental‐expressive traits in the examination of vocational behaviour of women in non‐traditional as compared to traditional areas of job training. The theoretical and social implications of these findings are discussed in the light of Super's Self‐concept theory and the notion that sex‐role attitudes and instrumental/expressive traits can be thought of as reflecting a value‐expressive filtering mechanism that portrays certain options as appropriate, and others as less appropriate routes leading individuals to the fulfilment of their values.

“…En un estudio con abogadas •graduadas entre 1920 y 1979 se observó que solamente cuando el cónyuge también era profesional, los hijos tendían a seguir el modelo familiar(Dambrot & Vassel, 1983).En cuanto a las elecciones vocacionales según rasgos de personalidad, se ha encontrado que las mujeres que siguen carreras de Ciencias Sociales tienen una orientación de rol más femenina, más intereses sobre la familia y mayor flexibilidad para el trabajo. Aquellas que siguen Ingeniería, tienen mayores incentivos pero también es mayor su necesidad de tener hijos y ser buenas madres(Galejs & King, 1983) En base a los conceptos esbozados y las investigaciones mencionadas,.Ilos preguntamos si la Orientación de Rol Sexual (ORS) de mujeres de profesiones tradicionalmente femeninas es diferente de las mujeres de profesiones masculinas. Más.…”

Se compararon 288 mujeres peruanas de profesiones tradicionalmente masculinas y femeninas, en la autopercepción de su masculinidad y femineidad a nivel global y en los contextos familiar y laboral. Se empleó la Escala de Orientación Sexual de Ragúz, SROS (1989) y versiones modificadas de la misma. Si bien el análisis de varianza y el t Student no evidenciaron diferencias en la ORS global o familiar, los grupos difirieron en su ORS laboral.

“…Again, the focus of these studies was to identify characteristics common to "nontraditionals" that are divergent from women in traditional occupations (Greenfeld, Greiner, & Wood, 1980;Lemkau, 1979;Standley & Soule, 1974). It has been found that one's socialization, family make-up, and sex-role orientation play a part in the decision to pursue a nontraditional career (Auster & Auster, 1981;Galejs & King, 1983;Lemkau, 1979;O'Connell, Betz, & Kurth, 1989;Strange & Rea, 1983). While these studies have yielded valuable information regarding the type of woman who will seek out a nontraditional career, very few studies have examined the adjustment of these women to their nontraditional careers.…”
