Compromises in Adolescents' Occupational Aspirations and Expectations from Grades 8 to 10.
Armstrong, Patrick Ian; Crombie, Gail
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v56 n1 p82-98 Feb 2000
Data from 245 male and 257 female adolescents who reported occupational aspirations and expectations in grades 8, 9, and 10 indicated that those who had significant aspiration-expectation discrepancies in one grade made significant changes in aspiration the following year. To the extent the changes were toward more realistic or accessible occupations, they represent compromises. (SK)
