Abstract
This study examined the relationships between sex role preference and image of nursing among 43 female freshman students of nursing. Student nurses who envisioned themselves as fulfilling a more traditional female role saw nursing differently from those who envisioned themselves as more liberal. The Dreyer Sex Role Preference Profile delineated two groups. A two-tailed test of proportions was used to analyze the data with significance determined at the .05 level. The groups differed significantly on nine of the 19 attributes of nursing, and differed in the importance to self on eight of the 19 items. Interestingly, however, none saw themselves as strongly traditional.
