This study investigated the degree to which community psychology graduate students sex‐role stereotype, and whether level of training (beginning, advanced) or sex influenced these perceptions. Students ( n = 47) enrolled in graduate community psychology programs completed the Rosenkrantz et al. (1968) sex‐role stereotyping questionnaire. A sample of graduate business students ( n = 61) were used as a comparison group. A 2 × 2 × 2 ANOVA showed the main effects of sex, program, and level of training were not significant on male‐valued [MV] or female‐valued [FV] items. One interaction, Program of Study × Level of Training, was significant (MV‐ p < .01; FV‐ p < .05). Advanced psychology students stereotyped more than beginning psychology students and advanced business students.
