A main theory of occupational choice predicts that the degree of fit, or “congruence” between one’s work-related interests and career choice, as well as the congruence between confidence in one’s ability to perform work-related tasks and career choice are associated with a greater likelihood to pursue a particular career. </p><p>This study extended previous research in two areas - the relationship of college students’ career interests to the perceived “traditionality” of their choices (whether a career was believed to be predominantly held by women or men) and the congruence of choice (with the individual’s occupational interests, as well as occupational self-efficacy) given one’s gender and the traditionality of occupational choice. </p><p>The current sample appeared to hold similarly stereotypic beliefs about gender traditionality compared with students 30 years ago. However, the current sample did not appear to have as strongly polarized gender stereotypes of careers. The perceptions of traditionality for some specific careers in the current study appeared to have changed. Previous research regarding the relationship between gender, interests, occupational choice traditionality, and gender roles found women who made non-traditional career choices were also making choices that were more congruent with their interests. In the current study there were no main or interaction effects for gender or traditionality of career choice regarding interest-choice or self-efficacy choice congruence. These results were contrary to expected results. However, gender and traditionality of choice for this sample were significantly related. Women made more traditional choices than non-traditional choices (three to one). Men made more non-traditional than traditional choices (three to one). However, women and men made overall moderately traditional choices about half the time (51.8% and 56.4%, respectively</p> 2010-08-25 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1269548179 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1269548179 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
