尽管职业机会发生了广泛的变化，但男性和女性对职业的偏好仍然存在差异。本研究提出一个动机框架来解释职业兴趣的性别差异。从角色一致性的角度来看（Diekman & Eagly, 2008），性别角色的内化导致人们认可性别刻板印象的目标，然后导致对提供追求这些目标的职业的兴趣。三项研究为这些假设提供了证据。研究1发现，男性和女性的刻板职业被认为可以实现不同的目标。研究2和3发现，男性和女性支持不同的目标，这种性别规范的目标支持预测了性别刻板印象的职业兴趣。此外，结构方程模型（研究3）表明，性别角色的内化完全解释了性别分化的目标认可。因此，这些发现扩展了社会角色理论框架，将与自我选择相关的过程考虑到特定的社会角色中。
Despite widespread changes in occupational opportunities, men and women continue to show divergent preferences for careers. This research invoked a motivational framework to explain sex-differentiated career interest. From a role congruity perspective (Diekman & Eagly, 2008), the internalization of gender roles leads people to endorse gender-stereotypic goals, which then lead to interest in occupations that afford the pursuit of those goals. Three studies provided evidence for the hypotheses. Study 1 found that male- and female-stereotypic careers were perceived to afford different goals. Studies 2 and 3 found that men and women endorsed different goals and that this gender-normative goal endorsement predicted gender-stereotypic career interest. In addition, structural equation modeling (Study 3) indicated that internalization of gender roles fully accounted for sex-differentiated goal endorsement. These findings thus extend the social role theory framework to consider processes related to self-selection into specific social roles.
