Internal-External Attitudes, Personal Initiative, and the Labor Market Experience of White and Black Men Journal of Human Resources 12,3 (Summer 1977): 308-328. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/145493 Cohort(s): Older Men, Young Men Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press Keyword(s): Duncan Index; Earnings; Educational Returns; Locus of Control (see Rotter Scale); Rotter Scale (see Locus of Control); Schooling; Work Attitudes; Work Experience The analysis provides support for the hypothesis that internal-external attitudes are strongly related to a number of aspects of labor market experience. Confidence in these findings is strengthened by the fact that observed relationships were independent of individual differences in a wide range of characteristics and were supported as well by longitudinal data. Findings also indicate that there are only minor differences between young and middle- aged men in internal-external attitudes. There is little consistent evidence among young men that educational attainment had lower returns for blacks than whites during the late 1960s and 1970s. Initiative appears to have considerable labor market payoffs for young and middle-age men, blacks as well as whites, and especially for the young. |
