Job-typing of vocational objectives as a behavioral consequence of gender stereotyping by rehabilitation counselors was examined. One hundred ninety-one Florida rehabilitation counselors responded to a questionnaire designed to study job-typing of vocational objectives under three conditions. Data for the first two conditions, the vocational objective established at the time the rehabilitation program was written and the job title at the time the client's file was closed, were obtained from reports by the subjects on the last five cases they closed in rehabilitated status. Data for the third condition were obtained from the subjects' selection of vocational objectives for three hypothetical clients, in some instances seen as males and in other instances as females. The results of the chi-square data analysis indicated that there was an association between the sex of the client and the gender of the job-type of the vocational objective selected. The degree of association, as measured by the contingency coefficient, varied under the three conditions with a much higher degree of association found in the analysis of the analog data. This suggests that factors external to the counselors' attitudes have some influence on the selection of the clients' vocational objectives. There was no statistically significant difference found between male and female counselors in the selection of vocational objectives under any of the three conditions. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 42-03, Section: A, page: 1016. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1981.
