Individual and Familial Factors Influencing the Educational and Career Plans of Chinese Immigrant Youths
Ma, Pei-Wen Winnie; Yeh, Christine J.
Career Development Quarterly, v58 n3 p230-245 Mar 2010
The authors explore how individual and familial factors predict educational and career aspirations, plans, and vocational outcome expectations of urban, Chinese immigrant youths. Participants were 265 Chinese immigrant high school students in New York City. The results indicated that higher self-reported English language fluency and career-related support from parents positively predicted career and educational aspirations and plans to go to college, lower English language fluency predicted plans to work immediately after high school, and perception of educational barriers predicted negative career expectations. Implications for future research and counseling in the career development of Asian immigrant youths are addressed. (Contains 3 tables.)
