Diagnostic medical imaging has typically been a feminized profession for decades, however, since the early 1990's, has increasingly attracted more men into the field, where now, the gender make up for diagnostic imaging is near parity. Medical imaging is a dynamic field comprised of ever evolving technology and sub-imaging fields, referred to as imaging modalities, including computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, mammography, cardiovascular imaging, and nuclear medicine, to name a few. Diagnostic imaging is now described as where the new "hot" jobs are located, and entrance into the field has continued to grow by more than 11 percent each year. This study is designed, through the interviewing of 39 men and women from two radiography programs located geographically 50 miles from one another, to explore the interest of men entering a feminized field characterized as a "high touch" profession, with occupational characteristics that consist of a broad mix of patient care/technology skills. While there is focus on men entering imaging, exploration of the interests of women entering this highly technical and physically challenging profession is a large part of this study, as radiography is feminized yet does not hold necessarily the occupational characteristics consistent with that of feminized fields. Additionally, this study is designed to determine what male and female perspectives are of the profession, as medical imaging has been characterized as consisting of "subordinates" who work under nurses, doctors and radiologists, occupational characteristics that do not typically attract men.

This thesis investigated relationships between undergraduate students' general attitudes toward university education and specific attitudes toward introductory sociology. A sample of 238 students enrolled in introductory sociology returned a questionnaire regarding attitudes toward introductory sociology as a course and sociology as a discipline. Using self-identifying questions, students were divided into five subcultural groups based on attitudes toward general university education. The subcultures were then compared to determine differences in attitudes toward introductory sociology as well as the discipline of sociology.The primary results indicated that there were no significant differences between the different student subcultures in attitudes toward introductory sociology or sociology as a discipline and that students have a favorable attitude toward introductory sociology and sociology as a discipline although they show some dissatisfaction toward the teaching methodology used by sociologists. It was concluded that teaching methods need to be improved to minimize student dissatisfaction with introductory sociology.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306
