Abstract
In the fall of 1973, 1307 university students completed a questionnaire concerning attitudes toward women's role. During the spring of 1975, the attitude scores of those students still enrolled at the university ( N = 813) were compared with those of nongraduates who were no longer enrolled ( N = 289). For each of 3 school years, freshman through junior, nonenrolled males tended to be more liberal than enrolled males, and nonenrolled females tended to be more traditional than enrolled females. These data suggest that the shift to more liberal attitudes over the college years may be partly due to dropout of traditional individuals in the case of women but not men.Keywords
