Learning sex roles in the high school

The high school can be seen both as an environment for the playing out of previously acquired and anticipatory sex roles and as an active facilitator in the process of adjustment to stereotyped sex roles. In terms of academic achievement and occupational choice, students behave in ways consistent with the perpetuation of the extant sex structure. On the other hand they are encouraged in these behaviors in the classroom and by guidance personnel.

Training in consultation: a crisis of role transition.

A crisis framework is presented as a systematic model for viewing staff undergoing training as mental health consultants. Crisis concepts describe a sequence of expected reactions from staff in training: role shock, regression to familiar roles, stereotyped behavior, and preoccupation with professional success and termination. To facilitate role transition, practical “how to” teaching methods are described, centering on anticipatory guidance and role playing.
