Predictors of the Career Commitment Process in Mexican American College Students
Leal-Muniz, Veronica; Constantine, Madonna G.
Journal of Career Assessment, v13 n2 p204-215 2005
This study explored the extent to which perceived parental support, perceived career barriers, and adherence to career myths would predict two specific dimensions of the commitment to career choices process (i.e., vocational exploration and commitment and tendency to foreclose) in a sample of Mexican American college students. Perceived parental support was significantly positively predictive of vocational exploration and commitment and significantly negatively predictive of a tendency to foreclose prematurely on career options in Mexican American college students. Furthermore, both perceived career barriers and adherence to career myths were significantly positively predictive of Mexican American college students' tendency to foreclose on career choices. Future research directions are presented.
