Abstract
Abstract The relationship between sex-role orientation and vocational choice has attracted empirical interest but many studies conducted have been inconclusive. Giankos and Subich (1986), however, produced a highly significant result (p < .001) which suggested that non-traditionally sex-typed subjects are more vocationally indecisive than traditionally sex-typed subjects. To attempt a replication of this finding, data were collected from 65 subjects, of whom 32 were unemployed and the remaining 33 were in full-time tertiary education. Although statistical analysis revealed no main effect on vocational indecision for either the sex-role identity or unemployed/student distinctions, the data suggested an interaction between these two factors. The level of statistical significance fell between .05 and .10. This trend, together with Gianakos and Subich's finding, suggest that vocational indecision may be associated with an interaction between sex-role orientation and socio-economic factors.
