Youths’ socialization to work and school within the family

Abstract

The present study tested a model of socialization to work in the family context and its implications as a lever for school engagement using a sample of 154 parent-youth dyads living in the United States. A path model was fitted to data. Findings revealed that parents’ reported work experiences was aligned to youths’ perception of their parents’ success in the work domain. Also, a significant association was found between youth’s perception of their parents’ family success and youth’s emotional and experiential conceptualizations of work. Furthermore, youth who viewed work as a positive experience were more likely to be engaged in schoolwork, both emotionally and cognitively. Implications for vocational guidance are discussed.

Functional Ego States, Behavior Patterns, and Social Interaction of Bulgarian Adolescents and Their Parents

“…Having parental support and encouragement increases adolescents' motivation as well as feelings of being accepted and valued [30]. For example, parents' values, expectations, and supportive behaviors have been found to be positively associated with adolescents' self-esteem, need for achievement, developing competence, and striving for autonomy [31,32].

Maternal and paternal resources across childhood and adolescence as predictors of young adult achievement

“…Such interaction effects are consistent with the Process Context × interaction effects that are highlighted in the ecological model (Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 2006). Although both social capital theory and the ecological model suggest such interactive effects, previous research has tended to treat these two sources of influence independently, for instance, by controlling for one to isolate the unique effects of the other (Gordon & Cui, 2012; Hoffman, 2003), or to examine whether the effects of one source override those of another (Lee & Porfeli, 2015). Accordingly, in this study we tested whether mothers’ and fathers’ education and/or occupational prestige moderated the association between parent-youth warmth and young adult achievement in education and/or occupation.…”

Schoolchildren's Languages And Reading Culture Development In Information Socialisation Era

“…The ideas about digital preferences of contemporary youth are presented in the works by Ayanyan and Martsinkovskaya (2016), Grebennikova (2017) who emphasize the significance of the understanding of information socialization complexity. In different studies information is interpreted both as the way of world structuring that imposes great responsibility on information sources and as the way of its transmission to teenagers and young people (Lenhart, 2015;Lee & Porfeli, 2015).…”
