The purpose of the research was to analyze the extent to which the dissertation research of international students who received American doctorates reflected traditional sex roles and was relevant to the needs of the students' countries of origins. / The dissertation abstractions of 218 international students were analyzed using content analysis. / Results indicated that the dissertation research of these international students reflects the traditional sex roles of the home country, yet also reveals a trend for both sexes to pursue research in non-traditional fields. The results also demonstrated that 76.6 percent of the students' research was related to national development programs of the home countries and of that 76.6 percent, 65.6 percent of the research was completed by men and 11 percent by women. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 42-10, Section: A, page: 4246. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1981.
