Sex-Typed Personality Traits and Gender Identity as Predictors of Young Adults' Career Interests
Gender segregation of careers is still prominent in the U.S. workforce. The current study was designed to investigate the role of sex-typed personality traits and gender identity in predicting emerging adults' interests in sex-typed careers.
