Abstract
This comparative analysis of the occupational values of nursing students is focused on males, for whom nursing is a status-contradictory occupation due to its sex typing as a female domain. The study suggests the strength of prior sex-role socialization and values and delineates the manner in which men maintain a masculine self-image and identity within the confines of an occupation in which their sex functions as a discrepancy.Keywords
