This study investigated the relation between college males in the Social Sciences or Business Administration and their attitudes toward women's roles. Two groups each containing 40 junior or senior majors were given Spence and Helmreich's Attitudes Toward Women Scale. The Social Science group was significantly more liberal in their attitudes. Further research is suggested on college students' attitudes and their choice of study.
