Among high school women, parental status factors are strongly associated with the daughter's choice of a more "masculine" job, while this is not true for the college sample. In both samples, however, the influence of the mother is greater than that of the father and some support is found for the hypothesis that a mother's having more education than the father is related to the daughter's being more likely to want a more "masculine" job. Only in the college sample is a mother's working outside the home associated with the daughter's choice of a more "masculine" occupation.en-USCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USsex-typingdaughtersoccupational choicessex segregationmasculineArticle
