The associations among measures of locus of control and attitudes toward women who work were assessed using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth for 1,229 young adult males. Significant positive correlations, ranging from .09 to .14, were found among locus of control and men's negative stereotypes of women who work, which suggests that males who feel a lack of personal control may oppose women working outside of the home. The results also indicate that men with greater personal control may be more accepting of women in nontraditional sex roles than men with an external locus of control. Negative stereotypes of women who work and male self-preservation may explain these relationships.

Explored the relationships between self-esteem and attitudes toward women who work using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth for 4,386 22-30 yr. old males. Significant, negative associations were found among the measures, which suggests that men with low scores on self-esteem tend to oppose the employment of women, while men with high self-esteem scores are likely to approve of women working. These findings support previous research on the relationship between self-esteem and prejudice as well as indicate possible sources of unequal treatment of men and women in the workplace.

Following a brief introduction to the acculturation process and Mexican American culture, the authors propose that people of Mexican heritage in the US tend to assimilate rather than integrate with regard to their sex-role attitudes. The authors also propose that the degree of assimilation will be affected by several factors, including generational status and age. The data for this analysis were obtained from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, a national sample that was compiled under the direction of the Center for Human Resources and Research at the Ohio State University and the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago. The individuals in the sample, which represent the civilian and military population of the US, participated in several annual surveys and interviews that began in 1979 and have continued to the present. Data from a total 1,200 respondents of Mexican, Mexican American, or American descent who participated in the survey in 1979 and then again 1987 were used in this study. Results of the study indicate that the degree of sex-role assimilation among Mexican Americans was affected by generational status and age. (© 2000 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)

Aversion to Women Who Work and Perceived Discrimination Among Euro-Americans and Mexican-Americans

Perceptions of discrimination based on sex are presented for groups of Mexican-American men and women and Euro-American men and women. A measure of aversion to women who work is introduced and attitudes for the four groups are presented. Based on present significant differences and current demographic trends, discrimination based on sex will continue, and cultural attitudes may in fact perpetuate that.

Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivators and Older Employees' Attitudes Towards Their Current Jobs
Perceptual and Motor Skills 87,2 (October 1998): 407-410
Cohort(s): Older Men

Keyword(s): Age and Ageing; Attitudes; Employment; Job Satisfaction

It has been suggested that one of most dramatic changes in the workplace over the next decade will be the growing number of older employees. The task of managing, challenging, and motivating this aging work force is expected to be more complex due to varied needs and goals. An analysis of data on 3,358 male workers (45-59 yrs of age) from the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market--Old Cohort Database on job attitudes indicated that jobs that provided intrinsic motivators or a combination of both intrinsic and extrinsic motivators were better received than those that offered only extrinsic motivators.
