“…The empirical literature seems to support this position. For example, race (Barnett & Baruch, 1975; Frost & Diamond, 1979; McNair & Brown, 1983; Omvig & Thomas, 1974; Smith, 1975, 1980, 1982; Williams, 1979) and SES (Auster & Auster, 1981; Danzier, 1983; Duncan, Featherman, & Duncan, 1972; Goodale & Hall, 1976; Hotchkiss & Borrow, 1984) have been shown to be related to career interests and aspirations, although they have not been studied in relation to career self-efficacy directly. Gender and a related variable, sex role orientation, have also been shown to be important variables in career choice (Betz & Hackett, 1983; Harren, Kass, Tinsley, & Moreland, 1979; Krefting, Berger, & Wallace, 1978; Lifshitz, 1983; Shinar, 1975) and, therefore, should be included in any multivariable design concerning career choice or aspirations.…”
