Preintegration attitudes and expectations of 1936 men and 346 women assigned to six Navy ships were measured before the women reported aboard. Results showed that the majority of men believed integration would improve crew morale, but would impact negatively on discipline and increase interpersonal conflict. Lower ranking men favored integration, although they held the most traditional attitudes toward the roles of women and expected women would receive preferential treatment in job assignments, physically demanding work, and disciplinary action. Men working in departments where women are rarely found held traditional attitudes toward women's roles and were pessimistic about integration. The women were most concerned with profanity, proving themselves, and resentment from men. (Author)
