Abstract

A study by Touhey (1974) indicated that increasing numbers of women entering a high status occupation decreased subjective ratings of the prestige and desirability of those occupations. A replication by Suchner (1979) failed to support these findings. Suchner has called for further research on this phenomenon in populations other than those used in his and Touhey's studies. This study is a conceptual replication of the Touhey and Suchner studies using business-related occupations and a population of male management students from a college of business administration. The,esults of this study are consistent with those of Suchner's.
