development of Occupational Aspiration prestige a piecewise latent growth model of selected influences
Journal of Vocational Behavior, 2009Co-Authors: Jay W RojewskiAbstract:Abstract Using the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88) data sets, the complex phenomenon of intra-individual and inter-individual differences in and the potential predictors of those differences on career Aspirations development over a 12-year period was analyzed. Results indicated that 73.1% of the total growth (change) in adolescents’ Occupational Aspiration prestige scores were achieved between grades 8–10, while 26.9% of growth was achieved between grades 10 and 12. One-third of the total growth in the Occupational Aspiration scores of these individuals as young adults was observed between high school graduation and 2 years after graduation, while 67.4% of the total growth was obtained during the period between 2 and 8 years after high school graduation. Individuals with higher initial Aspiration scores experienced slower growth in Aspirations than those with lower initial Aspirations. A negative association between career Aspiration prestige scores in grade 12 and 8 years post-graduation existed.

Career Choice Patterns and Behavior of Work-Bound Youth During Early Adolescence
Journal of Career Development, 2003Co-Authors: Jay W RojewskiAbstract:A national longitudinal database (NELS: 88-94, 1996) was used to examine the Occupational Aspiration patterns, vocational preparation, and work-related experiences of adolescents who were either work-bound or college-bound two years after their initial transition from high school to work or postsecondary education. Adolescents' career choice and behavior patterns were analyzed at two separate points. Grades 8 and 10 achievement profiles of work- and unemployment-bound youths were similar; both groups had significantly lower achievement scores than college-bound youths. Socioeconomic status (SES) had considerable influence on determining both Occupational Aspirations and postsecondary transition status. Two-thirds of all young adults who were work-bound or unemployed/out of the work force were in the lowest two SES groups. Adolescents in the highest SES were four times more likely to be college-bound. Educational Aspiration was a more accurate predictor of postsecondary status than Occupational Aspiration. Work-bound youths did not engage in higher levels of school-based work preparation than college-bound peers. Occupational Aspirations of college-bound youth were relatively stable over the two-year period (from Grade 8 to 10), while those of noncollege-bound youths were more volatile. The prestige levels of Occupational Aspirations, for all youth, were relatively established by early adolescence and did not change significantly over time.

the relationship between career variables and Occupational Aspirations and expectations for australian high school adolescents
Journal of Career Development, 2007Co-Authors: Wendy Patton, Peter Alexander CreedAbstract:This study surveyed 925 Australian high school students enrolled in grades 8 through 12 on measures of Occupational Aspirations, Occupational expectations, career status Aspirations, and career status expectations; it tested the association between these variables and career maturity, career indecision, career decision-making self-efficacy, and career barriers. Adolescents generally aspired to or expected to work within a small range of RIASEC (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, or Conventional) Occupational categories. One third of students reported Occupational Aspiration and expectation discrepancies. These differed across gender and across age for female students but not for male students. Students who demonstrated both Occupational and status Aspiration and expectation discrepancies reported more career indecision, were less confident about making a career-related decision, and were less career mature. Students generally held higher Occupational status Aspirations than expectat...

The relationship between career variables and Occupational Aspirations/expectations for Australian high school adolescents
2007Co-Authors: Wendy Patton, Peter Alexander CreedAbstract:This study surveyed 925 Australian high school students enrolled in grades 8-12 on measures of Occupational Aspirations, Occupational expectations, career status Aspirations and career status expectations, and tested the association between these variables and career maturity, career indecision, career decision-making self-efficacy, and career barriers. Adolescents generally aspired to/expected to work within a small range of RIASEC Occupational categories. One third of students reported Occupational Aspiration/expectation discrepancies. These differed across gender, and across age for females, but not for males. Students who demonstrated both Occupational and status Aspiration and expectation discrepancies reported more career indecision, were less confident about making a career-related decision, and were less career mature. Students generally held higher Occupational status Aspirations than expectations, and males were more likely to choose professional occupations than females. Age differences were found for status expectations, but not for status Aspirations.

Occupational Aspirations of Middle and High School Hispanic Females
Journal of Border Educational Research, 2013Co-Authors: Maximino Plata, Trace PirtleAbstract:The Occupational Aspiration Scale (OAS) (Miller & Haller, 1964) was used to obtain levels of Occupational Aspiration (LOA) of 7th through 12th grade Hispanic females (N = 133) who lived in a border city adjacent to MA©xico. MANOVA statistics with Bonferroni post-hoc comparisons indicated significant differences between 8th and 9th - graders and between 9th and 10th -graders in Short Range, Realistic, and Short Range Realistic LOA and between 10th and 11th -graders in Idealistic LOA. Suggestions for future research and implications for practitioners are included.

Occupational Aspiration change patterns of male and female high school hispanics
Journal of Border Educational Research, 2013Co-Authors: Maximino Plata, Trace PirtleAbstract:Levels of Occupational Aspirations (LOA) for 278 Hispanic adolescents (131 boys; 147 girls) in grades 9 through twelve were obtained using an adapt- ed version of the Occupational Aspiration Scale. MANOVA results revealed LOA differences between gender groups and among grades. Post hoc comparisons showed higher Short Range Realistic (SRR) LOA for females than males between grades 9-10, 9-11, and 9-12, in Short Range Idealistic (SRI) and Long Range Re- alistic (LRR) LOA between grades 9-10, and in SRI LOA between grades 10-11. Tenth grade males and females had higher LOA than 9th-graders in SRI and SRR LOA, respectively. Possible reasons for LOA fluctuation patterns are discussed. Implications for counselors and suggestions for future research are provided.

reading habits socioeconomic conditions Occupational Aspiration and academic achievement in vietnamese junior high school students
Sustainability, 2019Co-Authors: Thi Thu Hien Le, Trung Tran, Thi Phuong Thao Trinh, Chi Thanh Nguyen, Thuy Phuong Tram Nguyen, Thutrang Vuong, Thi Hanh Vu, Ha My Vuong, Phuong Hanh Hoang, Minhhoang NguyenAbstract:Reading practices play an important role in the learning process of students. Especially in a fast-changing world where knowledge about nature and society is in a constant state of flux, book reading helps students foster skills such as thinking, valuing, adaptability and creativity for sustainable development. This research study used a dataset of 1676 observations of junior high school students from Northern Vietnam to explore students’ academic achievement and its association with their reading passion, family socio economic condition, parental education and Occupational Aspiration. The empirical results show that higher grades in STEM-related subjects are predicted by reading interest (βReadbook = 0.425, p < 0.0001), with students who love reading books achieve higher score than those who take no interest in books. Remarkably, the education level of the mother strongly enhances academic performance, with β = 0.721 (p < 0.0001) in cases of mother having a university diploma or higher. Students coming from wealthy families are more likely to buy books whereas borrowing from the library is the main source of books for students who grow up in not-rich families. However, even among wealthy families, investment into buying books still rely more on personal interest, despite the aforementioned educational benefits of book reading, as evidenced by an over 7 percentage point disparity between the likelihood of purchasing books among wealthy-family students who took an interest in reading (45%) versus students of the same background who did not like to read (38.7%). The results present implications for education policy making with a vision towards United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education.
