Differential Timing of Initial Vocational Choice: The Influence of Early Childhood Family Relocation and Parental Support Behaviors in Two Cultures.
Silbereisen, Rainer K.; And Others
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v50 n1 p41-59 Feb 1997
Comparison of 1,090 adolescents from former West Germany and 584 for former East Germany indicated that East Germans made initial vocational choices one year earlier. Timing and potential disruptiveness of family relocation correspond to earlier choices for East Germany youth. Those making earlier choices revealed more adult life-styles and advanced levels of identity exploration and commitment. (SK)
