“…The results from the current study support three earlier studies involving adolescents, whose results indicated that maternal employment, parental work values, parental aspirations, and parent-adolescent communication were not significantly correlated with adolescents' career maturity (Dillard & Campbell, 1981;Rosenthal & Hansen, 1981;Schmitt-Rodermund & Silbereisen, 1998). One possible reason that family variables relate to the career maturity of college students (Graef et al, 1985;Kenny, 1990), but not middle and high school students, is that career maturity is more difficult to assess in younger populations.…”

The relationship between specific parental behaviors and the career development of young adolescents was assessed. Regression analyses revealed that parental behaviors did relate to the career development of middle school students, after controlling for student grade level and gender. Parental behaviors tended to relate more to career decision-making self-efficacy (CDMSE) than to career maturity, and general psychosocial parenting behaviors appeared to be more salient than career-focused parent behaviors. Five specific behaviors were found to be predictive of participants' career development. The discrepancy between adolescents' and parents' views of family relationships was also shown to relate to the adolescents' career decisionmaking self-efficacy. The results from the current study further expand on the results from other studies in this area by providing insight into the effects of specific parental behaviors. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

“…Other research on minority entrepreneurship suggests that parents in African American households may exert greater influence with respect to promoting entrepreneurship than in white households (Dillard and Campbell 1981). Not surprisingly, black youth reports higher levels of interest in entrepreneurship than white youth (Wilson, Marlino, and Kickul 2004).…”

Firm growth is widely considered to be a measure of success for entrepreneurial businesses. Data indicate that there are systematic differences between minority and nonminority-owned firms with respect to growth. Black entrepreneurs are 50 percent more likely to engage in start-up activities than white entrepreneurs, however, blackowned firms are smaller and less profitable than their white-owned counterparts. Following the effort-performance-outcome-logic of expectancy theory and using data from the Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics (PSED), our paper investigates the differences between black and white entrepreneurs' motivations to start and intentions to grow a new venture. Findings indicate that there are significant differences in motivations between black and white entrepreneurs both in starting and in their intentions to grow the new venture. Implications for future research are discussed.

“…With the possible exception of Graphic Arts and Distributive Education programs, a recent look at the enrollment patterns in vocational education programs in Pennsylvania confirmed the fact that many programs still attract students of only one sex, despite the sex equity efforts supported by the Carl Perkins Vocational Education Act since 1984. Whereas legislation can have an influence on overt sex discrimination, years of socialization concerning occupational stereotyping have restricted occupational choice (Auster & Auster, 1981;Dillard & Campbell, 1981). Vocational program enrollments still tend to be traditional, with a male preference for practical, physical, psychomotor, or managerial occupations, and female preference for supportive, clerical, and socially-oriented occupations (Kendall & Miller, 1983).…”
