Does occupational stereotyping still exist?
We surveyed 113 college students regarding their views of certain occupational stereotypes. Our results indicated that in this population gender was related to the subjects' views of occupations as either male, female, or neutral, and that the father's primary occupation significantly affected the subjects' views of only one occupation--clinical sociologist. The mother's occupational seemed to have no effect.
