Sex-Role-Related Goals and Attitudes of Undergraduates at Six Colleges and Universities, 1976

These data were collected to assess educational goals, career goals, preferred and expected career commitment, and sex role attitudes of undergraduates at six different types of colleges and universities. The students were enrolled at two two-year technical colleges in Ohio, two private universities in Ohio and Massachusetts, and two state universities in Ohio and Massachusetts. The sample consisted of 929 male and female students who were volunteers from 40 courses representing 12 different college majors. The sample consisted mostly of white men and women between 18 and 25 years of age. The 61-item questionnaire, which took 10-15 minutes to complete during class time, included multiple-choice and open-ended questions regarding educational and career goals, career commitment, feminist attitudes, personal traits, and demographic data. Sex role attitudes were assessed by the 25-item Attitudes Toward Women Scale (AWS). Self-concepts in terms of self-described attractiveness, conformity, height, and intelligence were assessed on five-point scales. Self-esteem was measured by the 10-item Rosenberg Scale. The Murray Research Archive holds both original record paper data, and numeric file data from 873 participants in this study.
