Internal-External Attitudes, Sense of Efficacy, and Labor Market Experience: A Reply to Duncan and Morgan Journal of Human Resources 16,4 (Fall 1981): 658-666. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/145241 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press Keyword(s): Employment; Income Dynamics/Shocks; Teenagers; Work Attitudes Duncan and Morgan's main criticism can be stated quite simply: they disagree with the conclusion that attitudinal change could result in greater initiative and more successful labor market experience, particularly among youths, because the conclusion is inconsistent with their replication and with almost all other PSID studies as well. The author disagrees with their interpretation of his research and shows that a number of studies in addition to his have used NLS data and come to the same conclusion he has. Differences between NLS and PSID data are discussed as likely explanations of why these data sets generate different findings about the role of psychological variables in the dynamics of labor market processes. |
