Career plans and life patterns of college-educated women : twenty-year follow-up study. 1983.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/26612205

This study is a follow-up of Rosalind Barnett's 1963 study of vocational planning of college women. The purpose of the follow-up was to compare the stated vocational and life plans of three groups of seniors at Radcliffe College with their actual career and life patterns twenty years later. The sample consists of 56 of the original 98 participants. Participants completed questionnaires as well as the Gough Adjective Checklist. The questionnaire contained both open-ended and forced-choice questions about life events since 1963, including demographic information, education and work histories, community and family involvement, and career commitment. Other questions asked about participants' satisfactions and successes, the external events which had affected their career development, and their future career plans. Both raw data and computer-accessible data are available.
