摘要

The study examines the demographic characteristics and familial background; collegiate experiences; attitudes, beliefs, satisfactions and goals; and personality of: (1) women graduates of a major urban university and (2) homemaking women seeking guidance from an adult counseling center. It explores many of these variables with male graduates of that university, asking their views about women's activities. About half completed the mailed questionnaires. The sample contains many with graduate educations and, for women, with extensive work histories.
