Harvard Medical School house officers. 1979.

These data were collected to examine the changing patterns of career directions for men and women entering medicine. The participants were a group of house officers in the Harvard Medical School teaching hospitals who were at the second postgraduate year level (i.e., one year postinternship or its equivalent). House officers were sent the preliminary questionnaire along with a cover letter and informed consent form in early spring, 1979. There were 117 people who agreed to participate and who completed a packet of tests. Questionnaire data included the following information: family and educational background, current work situation, medical training and career paths, division of labor and child care, sex role differences in career paths, work and family conflicts, and income. Also included were the Recent Life Changes Questionnaire, the Habits of Nervous Tension, the Personal Attributes Scale, the Multiple Affect Adjective Check List, and five verbal projective Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) cues. The Murray Center has acquired all the raw and computer-accessible data for this study.
