Cultural Continuity Study, 1966-1972
Listed in Harvard Dataverse
The purpose of this longitudinal study was to follow the lives of educated American women from their senior year in college for five years post graduation in order to examine the cultural values and role dilemmas of educated women in the two traditional fields of nursing and teaching.
Description
In 1966, 473 nurses from 20 nursing schools and 250 teachers from 6 teachers' colleges completed a nine-page questionnaire regarding their background, attitudes toward education, career plans, role preferences, and personality.
Both samples were similar in socioeconomic background. Data on race and ethnicity were not compiled. Each participant completed a value inventory in which she indicated her values and the values of eight significant others on a continuum ranging from (1) placing a "very high value on education and career" to (9) placing a "very high value on motherhood and the family." A series of object scales designed to measure ego strength, sense of well-being, and flexibility were also included in the questionnaire.

A follow-up questionnaire was mailed to original participants in 1972 and returned by 352 subjects. In addition to containing many items from the original questionnaire, the follow-up addressed several related factors, including the relationship between actual career and marital activities and those anticipated as students, the perception and resolution of career vs. marital conflicts, and the psychological and structural mechanism of conflict resolution and decision making.
The Murray Research Archive holds numeric file data for the original 1966 study and the 1972 follow-up.
