在1971年至2002年期间的前半期，学士学位领域的性别隔离迅速减少;与此同时，学士学位获得者中妇女的代表性相对于男子增加得最快。早期取消种族隔离的主要原因是，越来越多的妇女进入与商业有关的领域，而主修教育和英语等传统领域的妇女比例下降。男子没有通过向妇女占多数的领域迁移来促进融合。固定效应回归模型表明，女性化的领域不鼓励后来的同龄人进入他们，贬值的角度预测。废除种族隔离的停滞是由于男性不愿意进入女性“太多”的领域，以及女性做出不那么传统的选择的速度放缓。
Gender segregation in baccalaureate degree fields declined rapidly in the first half of the period from 1971 to 2002; at the same time, women's representation among baccalaureate degree recipients increased most rapidly relative to mens. The desegregation of the early period resulted mainly from women's increased entry into business- related fields and declining proportions of women majoring in traditional fields such as education and English. Men did not contribute to integration by moving towardfields numerically dominated by women. Fixed-effects regression models suggest that feminization of fields discourages later cohorts of men from entering them, as predicted by the devaluation perspective. The stalling of desegregation camefrom a combination of men's disinclination to enter fields that are "too" filled with women, and the slowdown in women making less traditional choices.
