Adolescent Occupational Aspirations: Test of Gottfredson's Theory of Circumscription and Compromise Career Development Quarterly 59,5 (September 2011): 412-427. Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: National Career Development Association (NCDA) Keyword(s): Achievement; Career Patterns; Gender Differences; Occupational Aspirations; Socioeconomic Background Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The authors investigated the relationship between adolescent occupational aspirations and midlife career success. The model for adolescent occupational aspirations was derived from Gottfredson's (1981) theory of circumscription and compromise. The authors hypothesized that parental socioeconomic status (SES), ability, and gender predict adolescent occupational aspirations and influence career achievement in later life. Gottfredson's model was a good fit for the data. SES and ability influenced the formation of occupational aspirations, and ability and gender predicted career achievement in later life. Additionally, occupational aspirations predicted career achievement in later life. Adolescent girls achieved less career success in midlife than did adolescent boys. |

Patterns of Early Labor Force Participation of American Women Career Development Quarterly 36,1 (September 1987): 55-65. Also: http://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/search/detailmini.jsp?_nfpb=true&_&ERICExtSearch_SearchValue_0=EJ365738&ERICExtSearch_SearchType_0=no&accno=EJ365738 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: American Counseling Association Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Duncan Index; Labor Force Participation This study used longitudinal labor force participation data at four age points (18, 22, 25-26, and 29-30) to identify seventeen early career patterns which a sizeable proportion of American women followed. The most prevalent patterns found were those in which the women were either largely out of the labor force or clearly invested in the labor force. The least prevalent patterns included those in which participation was sporadic and inconsistent. The more extensive a pattern's labor force participation, the less downward and more upward movement there was in Duncan socioeconomic level (proportion of sample moving up or down). The opposite was true of those patterns with the least extensive labor force participation. The more extensive a pattern's labor force participation, the higher the Duncan Socioeconomic Interval achieved. When each of the seventeen patterns identified was classified by two raters as corresponding to one of Super's (1957) seven career patterns of women, it was found that the greatest proportion of subjects belonged to Super's stable working pattern, followed by the stable homemaking pattern. |
