Abstract
Script theory has been used to understand shared social norms for behavior in specific situations [1], and more broadly, to analyze individual life patterns by looking at highly personalized life scripts [2]. This article applies a methodology derived from script theory in an attempt to better understand life choices of women. Individual women's perceptions of daily life scripts for a successful woman lawyer, a secretary, and a full time homemaker are used as data for predicting these women's own career aspirations. Predicted relationships were strongest for the lawyer scenario data.
