Presented is a paper related to a Career Exploration Project, supported, in part, by the National Science Foundation. Studied was the effect of an instructional treatment designed to encourage highly qualified females to pursue male-dominated science careers such as medicine and engineering. The study also attempted to ascertain what kinds of barriers women thought had affected their career choices. The latter was purported to be their perceptions of a conflict among the roles of parent, spouse, and professional science career persons. A self-awareness treatment aimed at increasing the proportion of highly talented women choosing specific science careers was designed and evaluated. Lists of the careers chosen are listed in tabulated form. The research methodology incorporated for the study is presented and references are cited. (EB)
