Abstract

Impressions of male and female medical and nursing students are compared in a sample of high-school students. There are few differences in the ratings of the male and female medical students and both are described as competent and attractive. However, male nursing students are rated as unattractive, unrealistic, and unambitious. The results suggest that men entering a predominantly female profession may be perceived as more deviant than women entering a predominantly male profession.
