The present study investigated role perceptions of male and female assistant professors at Cornell University in 1970 and the University of Rochester in 1975; 28 female assistant professors in the College of Arts and Sciences of the two institutions were matched with male assistant professors from the same school. Subjects were administered a 22-item questionnaire tapping job roles, job duties, departmental issues, university issues, and personal roles. Chi-square analyses and t tests found few differences between males and females on specific job duties (i.e., number of publications, degrees, desire to teach), some differences in job roles, more differences in perceptions of departmental and university issues, and many differences in subjects' personal lives. These similarities and differences are discussed in terms of role conflict for women, and implications for university policy making are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
