Based on the hypothesis that a major deterrent to women seeking enrollment in vocational programs is the attitudes and misunderstandings of secondary school girls regarding such programs, a study designed to identify and assess the attitudes, perceptions, understandings, and conditions for enrollment of adolescent girls in vocational programs was conducted. A normative survey was administered to a stratified random sample of female students (grades 9-12) from 35 different high schools in Indiana. Responses of the 1,108 participants were tabulated and recorded on summary tables for analysis (all tables included in the appendix). Followup interviews were conducted with a selected small percentage of the previously surveyed sample. It was found that while girls believe occupational opportunities are broadening for females, in practice they are still limiting their own choices to those most stereotypic to their sex. The study also indicated that the girls did not know a great deal about the vocational courses and programs available but the majority would consider enrolling in these programs under certain conditions, such as convenience, part-time attendance, preferential selection, or in case of failure to gain college admission. Based on the final analysis and followup interviews, a total of 10 conclusions and 6 recommendations were reported. (BM)
