Vocational planning of college women : a psychosocial study. 1963.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/26623299

These data were collected in order to study the vocational planning of senior college women. A questionnaire packet was mailed to 270 Radcliffe College seniors, class of 1963, who were unmarried American citizens. A total of 182 usable questionnaires were completed and returned. Of these, 108 participants were each placed in one of three vocational planning patterns: Internalizer, Identifier, and Complier. The research instruments included a questionnaire designed to assess background information, vocational plans, parental reactions to vocational plans, and marriage expectations. In addition to this questionnaire, the three instruments used were (1) three scales from the California Psychological Inventory, (2) the Gough Adjective Check List, and (3) the Matthew's Scale -- a 33-item Likert-type scale to assess attitudes toward marriage and toward women and work. A brief follow-up questionnaire was distributed during May, 1963, to determine any changes in vocational plans. All of the participants returned the follow-up questionnaire. During spring recess of the senior year, 35 women were selected from each of the three vocational planning patterns to be interviewed. The purpose of the interview was to gather data related to relationships with family, faculty and peers, personal goals, and chosen field. All raw data and computer-accessible data are available.
