Abstract
A total of 182 university students completed a questionnaire concerned with the rating Of majors on a feminine-masculine scale. Significant differences were found between male and female student mean ratings of the feminine-masculine scale for two majors: engineering and political sciences in the masculine direc- tion. No significant difference was found on the aggregate score of feminine- masculine scale for the 18 majors. The type of school attended either mixed or single-sexed did not show any relation to the response on the masculine-femi- nine scale. Main effects were found between ranking place of residence for the selection of majors on the mean ratings of the feminine-masculine scale. Also, regression analysis showed that mean parental influence was the main predictor on the mean feminine-masculine ratings. These results overshadow male-female differences of gender stereotyping; hence, a function of a wider cluster of attributes offamily influence, shortage of guidance, and individual awareness of university programs the sample was taken from.
