Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the feminine role concept held by freshmen, senior and graduate women majoring in Physical Education and Home Economics at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. The feminine role perception of each respondent was measured in terms of "Self- Perception", "Ideal Woman", and "Man's Ideal Woman". The Inventory of Feminine Values was the research instrument used in the study. The inventory is designed to provide insight into the sex-role perceptions of groups of women. A total of 72 respondents completed the three forms of the inventory. Data obtained from Forms A, "Self-Perception", B, "Ideal Woman", and C, "Man's Ideal Woman" were coded on IBM cards and processed through an IBM (367-75) electronic computer at the computer center at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Analysis of variance and Tukey's "HSD" test of difference between means were the statistical designs used in the study.
