“…This result approaches those found by Eigen et al's (1987) and Blustein et al's (1991) studies and, to some extent, to the result presented by Kinnier et al (1990). Blustein et al (1991) explained the absence of relationships between psychological separation, on the one hand, and career indecision and career decision-making self-efficacy, on the other hand, as the result of a complex pattern of relationships between the two sets of variables.…”

“…For both genders, the model accounted for a significant variance in the vocational identity scores. Kinnier, Brigman, and Noble (1990) found that the level of individuation toward the family of origin accounted for only 3% of the variance of career indecision and that the triangulation did not emerge as a significant predictor variable. Blustein, Wallbridge, Friedlander, and Palladino (1991) analyzed the relationship between several dimensions of psychological separation from parents and two career measures, career indecision and career decision-making self-efficacy.…”

Lopez and Andrews (1987) interpreted career indecision as an indicator of the inadequate psychological separation of adolescents from their parents. However, various empirical studies have not managed to clearly demonstrated evidence of a relationship between systemic family variables and career indecision. This investigation, which involves a sample of 418 adolescents of both sexes in the 12th grade of secondary school, analyzed the relationship between conflictual and emotional independence and two dimensions of career indecision: developmental indecision and generalized indecision. As a principal methodology of statistical analysis, a canonical correlation analysis, one for each gender, was used. There were no relationships between the two sets of variables. The results were interpreted in light of the fact that some subjects could be classified as foreclosure in terms of identity status. A model of career decision status is proposed.

“…Although it has been suggested that individuals from highly enmeshed families often experience greater difficulty with career decision-making tasks (Eigen, Hartman, & Hartman, 1987: Kinnier, Brigman, & Noble, 1990, similar results were not obtained in this study. On the contrary, career indecision was found to be related (albeit weakly) to lower levels of family cohesion.…”

Predicting Acculturation Using Career, Family, and Demographic Variables in a Sample of Mexican American Students

The authors examined the relationship of a set of career variables, family cohesion, and demographic variables with the acculturation level of a sample of 176 Mexican American community college students. Multiple regression analyses using a blocked entry method revealed that only the demographic variables related significantly to acculturation. Based upon the zero order correlations, socioeconomic status would appear to account for most of the variance shared by acculturation and a linear combination of the demographic variables.

“…For example, some family-career studies have operationalized family-related variables using birth order and family configuration measures (Leong, Hartung, Goh, & Gaylor, 2001); others have used measures of attachment (Blustein et al, 1991;Blustein, Prezioso, & Schultheiss, 1995;Felsman & Blustein, 1999;Ryan, Solberg, & Brown, 1996). Kinnier, Brigman, and Noble (1990) used measures based on Bowen's intergenerational systems model; and still others have used the two-dimensional circumplex model of family functioning (e.g., Eigen et al, 1987). Thus, there has been very little systemic research using identical or multidimensional measures of family functioning.…”

Family Interaction Patterns, Career Planning Attitudes, and Vocational Identity of High School Adolescents

2005

The purpose of the current study was to examine how perceptions of family interaction patterns as defined along three dimensions of family environment (quality of family relationships, family goal-orientations, and degree of organization and control within the family system) predict vocational identity and career planning attitudes among male and female adolescents living at home. One hundred twenty three high school students completed measures of family environment, vocational identity, and career planning attitudes. Analyses revealed that the quality of family relationships (i.e., degree to which family members are encouraged to express feelings and problems) played a small, yet significant role in predicting career planning attitudes of adolescents.KEY WORDS: adolescents; family patterns; career planning; vocational identity.Career counselors and theorists have long acknowledged the role of the family context in the career development literature (e.g.
