Reference Group Perspectives and the Vocational Maturity of Lower Socioeconomic Black Youth
Smith, Elsie J.
Journal of Vocational Behavior, 8, 3, 321-335, Jun 76
The reference group perspectives of 188 lower socioeconomic black high school seniors were found to be related to their career maturity. Students' post-high school plans (either work- or college-bound) and their views of the opportunity structure of America were related to both their reference group perspectives orientation and their career maturity scores.
