Work Experience and Control Orientation in Adolescence.

Finch, Michael D.; And Others

American Sociological Review, v56 n5 p597-611 Oct 1991

Longitudinal data in St. Paul (Minnesota) for 1,001 ninth graders and 962 of them as tenth graders show that part-time work experience and mastery orientation are reciprocally related for adolescents. Youth more internally oriented in grade 9 had less stressful jobs in grade 10. Extrinsic work conditions are sources of control orientation. (SLD)
