Abstract
This paper presents a typology of direct and vicarious achievement orientations relevant to adult problems. Direct and vicarious achievement patterns are related to sex role socialization and sex-linked occupational choice. An achievement-sexuality scoring system is described for channeling adults into traditional sex-linked occupations. Recommendations are developed for reevaluating and redesigning adult occupational and interpersonal roles which would take into account vicarious and direct achievement orientations.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
