Note. The sample means include families with a child who reported his/her occupation in young adulthood (N = 123). Higher scores signify more traditional attitudes. Gender typicality was coded as the percent of women in an occupation, but fathers’ scores were reverse-coded so that higher scores reflected more gender-typed occupations for both mothers and fathers.
