The relationship between sex-role orientation and occupational choice was investigated. Sex-role orientation was measured by the Personality Research Form ANDRO Scale of Berzins, Welling, and Wetter (1978). Subjects were 27 male registered nurses and 27 male high school teachers from a midwestern urban center. Chi-squared indicated no significant relationship between sex-role orientation and occupational choice. Implications of results were discussed.
