Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the levels of career attitude maturity according to biological sex and sex-role identity types of college students majoring in foodservice. In order to achieve this purpose, 300 students majoring in foodservice-related fields from 4 colleges located in Kyonggi, Daejeon, and Daegu province were selected as a sample. A total of 266 copies of the questionnaire were analyzed after excluding 34 responses. The results of this study were as follows. First, perceived career attitude maturity level of male students was higher than that of female students(p<.05). Second, perceived career attitude maturity level of the students categorized as the androgynous type was the highest, followed by the masculine, feminine and undifferentiated types of students (p<.05). Third, the levels of decisiveness, purposiveness, self-reliance of male students categorized as androgynous, masculine, and undifferentiated types were higher than those of female students. The levels of decisiveness, purposiveness, self-reliance perceived by female students classified as femininity were higher than those of male students. These results show that the androgynous type is considered to be more desirable and positive for career development. Therefore, a career counseling program in needed to enhance androgyny based on biological sex.
