Gifted High School Students' Attitudes toward Careers and Sex Roles.

The purpose of this study was to identify age and gender differences in the attitudes of gifted high school students toward career plans and sex roles. The Attitudes Toward Women Scale (AWS) and the Occupational Check List (OCL) were administered to 24 gifted 11th and 12th graders and to 36 gifted 9th graders. A two‐by‐two ANOVA (age x gender) showed a non‐significant interaction on both the AWS and the OCL; however, significant main effects for age and gender were found on both the AWS and the OCL, with the 12th graders scoring significantly higher than the 9th graders and the females scoring significantly higher than the males. It was concluded that males have more traditional attitudes about careers and sex roles than females, and the younger students, especially younger males, have more traditional attitudes than older students.
