Abstract EN
A total of 182 university students completed a questionnaire concerned with the rating ofmajors on afeminine-masculine scale.
Significant differences were found between male andfemale student mean ratings of the feminine-masculine scalefor two majors : engineering and political sciences in the masculine direc-tion.
No significant difference was found on the aggregate score offeminine-masculine scalefor the 18 majors.
The type of school attended either mixed or single-sexed did not show any relation to the response on the masculine-femi-nine scale.
Main effects werefound between ranking place of residence for the selection ofmajors on the mean ratings of the feminine-masculine scale.
Also, regression analysis showed that mean parental influence was the main predictor on the meanfeminine-masculine ratings.
These results overshadow male-female differences of gender stereotyping; hence, a function of a wider cluster of attributes offamily influence, shortage of guidance, and individual awareness of university programs the sample was taken from.
