Unequal representation of men and women in different disciplines within the world of work is most often attributed to differences in their vocational interests, and one important factor in mantaining these differences is gender stereotyping of various disciplines. The aim of this research is to determine the level and correlates of gender stereotyping of different activities among students of the University of Zagreb, as well as the predictors of things-people interest dimension. The sample consisted of 319 students aged from 19 to 33 years who participated in an online questionnaire composed of The Values Scale, Personal Globe Inventory – mini, Bem Sex Role Inventory, adapted version of Inventory of Children's Activities, which measured gender stereotyping, and a series of sociodemographic questions. The results showed that students from University of Zagreb have higher tendency of stereotyping traditionally masculine activities, and that male students are generally more prone to stereotyping than female students. Hierarchical regression analysis found that the biological sex of the participants, gender roles and two value orientations together explain 29% of the variance of things-people interest dimension. Specifically, female students, with higher social value orientation and more feminine characteristics show a greater interest in activities that involve other people. Furthermore, results of the moderation analysis also showed that gender stereotyping has different effects on interests of male and female students. While masculine and feminine stereotyping will increase interest for things among male students, feminine stereotyping will increase interest in activities that involve other people among female students. This research confirmed findings of previous studies on roles of certain social factors in the interest formation. Possible guidelines for attracting young people to the currently genderdisproportionate disciplines of work are discussed.
