Abstract
Regression analyses of questionnaires completed by University students (99 men, 143 women) revealed that humanitarian concerns, femininity scores, mas culinity scores, and utility values were significant predictors of college major. Education, English, and nursing majors had greater confidence, satis faction, and expectations for future success than did engineering, mathemat ics, and physics majors.
