Abstract

The purpose of this study was to attempt to discriminate between college-educated working mothers who were employed in traditional female occupations (Traditionals) and those who had careers in male-dominated occupations (Pioneers). There were 20 subjects in each group. Three instruments-projective, questionnaire, and attitude scale-were constructed to measure the variables of female role perception, attitudes toward career and career-related variables, and biographical information. Pioneers were found to be more career-committed than Traditionals and to have more successfully integrated the roles of homemaker and worker. Some aspects of family background also differentiated between the two groups.
