Download or read book Career Indecision Between White American and Asian American Students The Influence of Psychological Separation and Adult Attachment Orientation written by Chad John Keller and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To varying degrees psychologists have emphasized the influence of interpersonal relationships on the career decision making process, including parental psychological separation and attachment orientation. Models of the career development process, psychological separation and attachment orientation have been criticized as being based on Western, masculine values, which have been applied to women and racial minorities without appropriate consideration of cultural factors. The purpose of this study was to investigate career indecision from a relational and cross-cultural perspective by examining the role of parental psychological separation and attachment orientation in influencing the level of career indecision between White and Asian American undergraduate students. Based on the literature, four hypotheses and two research questions were examined using data completed by 302 White and Asian American undergraduates. Hypothesis one was only partially supported as White Americans demonstrated greater levels of maternal conflictual independence (a dimension of psychological separation) compared to Asia Americans; no cultural differences on ratings of paternal conflictual independence were found. Findings offered no support for hypothesis two predicting cultural and sex differences on rating of attachment anxiety and avoidance. Hypothesis three was partially supported as levels of career indecision within cultural groups were similar for men and women; however, counter to predictions, White Americans and Asian Americans showed similar levels of career decidedness. Partial support was also offered for hypothesis four as low levels of career indecision for White Americans were predicted by high levels of maternal conflictual independence; however, paternal conflictual independence and adult attachment avoidance and anxiety failed to account for significant unique variance. The findings of research question one suggested that for Asian Americans lower levels of career indecision were predicted by high levels of maternal conflictual independence and low levels of attachment anxiety and avoidance. The second research question examining potential cultural and sex differences in the prediction of career indecision indicated no significant differences between and within cultural and sex groups. These findings and their relation to the current literature were discussed, as were the limitations of the study, directions for future research and the implications for the practice of counseling psychology.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data from 313 Asian American college students selecting a range of 1 st choice occupations revealed findings supporting the predictive utility of constructs emphasized in conventional approaches but also enhanced utility offered by constructs reflecting Asian American career choice patterns in extant research. Findings also supported the moderating effect of level of adherence to Asian American values on the importance of these constructs to career choice satisfaction and revealed superior predictive utility of congruence derived from occupational title preferences relative to alternative approaches to measuring interest congruence and P-E fit. Implications and future research directions are discussed.

Book excerpt: Abstract: Asian American first-generation college students--those who are the first in their families to attend college--comprise a growing yet understudied population within U.S. higher education. This qualitative study explored the career choice process of eleven Asian American first-generation college students who were majoring in arts, humanities, and social science fields. The findings suggest that students' cultural and class identities influenced the way they and their families approached the career choice process. Students often experienced family challenges in pursuing culturally nontypical majors. Participants' stories underscored the importance of culturally relevant support, and receiving such support on campus was instrumental to students' self-efficacy. Contrary to what the model minority myth purports, Asian American first-generation students are complex individuals with unique struggles and motivation in attaining higher education.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American higher education is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse and researchers have suggested that more attention should be given to better understanding the career development of college students of color. Although there is substantial research on career development and the career decision-making process, studies have overwhelmingly primarily used data collected from White participants. Thus, little research has been done on the career development of people of color and specifically, college students of color. The primary focus of this study was to explore relationships between career decision-making self-efficacy, career maturity attitudes, and racial identity attitudes of college students of color. In addition, the study explored relationships between career decision-making self-efficacy, career maturity attitudes, and various demographic and life experience variables.^A sample of 164 college students of color attending five institutions of higher education in the Western New York area was used for this study. A survey packet consisting of four separate self-report instruments was completed by each participant. This study employed a multiple correlation and regression survey research design which was used to examine relationships between variables. This study generated a number of important findings. First, strong relationships where found between career decision-making self-efficacy and career maturity attitudes for this sample. Second, career decision-making self-efficacy and career maturity attitudes were related both positively and negatively, depending upon participants' current racial identity status, to participants' racial identity attitudes.^Third, participants' age, year in college, academic major, mother's educational level, and family income were predictors of their confidence in their ability to make a career choice that would meet their preferred lifestyle. Lastly, none of the remaining demographic variables were related to either career development construct. This study also explored the implications of the findings on career counseling with students of color, student affairs and academic advising practice, and higher education policy. Overall, this study provides new and relevant information regarding the career and racial identity development of college students of color, a very limited body of scholarly literature.

Download or read book Personality Factors as Cultural Specific Predictors of Anxiety Among Mainland Chinese and Caucasian American College Students written by Dong Xie and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The present study investigated the cultural specificity of a number of personality constructs in predicting anxiety across 324 Mainland Chinese and 333 Caucasian American college students. The dependent variables were state and trait anxiety, and social anxiety. The personality constructs that were selected and hypothesized to be cultural-specific predictors were (a) harmony, face, family orientation, modernization, and Ah-Q mentality (Defensiveness), (b) membership, private, public, and identity collective self-esteem, (c) independent and interdependent self construal, and (d) self-oriented, other-oriented, and socially prescribe perfectionism. On between group comparisons, the results indicated that Chinese students scored higher on trait anxiety and social anxiety than Caucasian American students, with the largest effect size on social avoidance. The two groups did not differ on state anxiety. On the Chinese personality constructs, Chinese students scored higher on harmony, family orientation, and modernity. On collective self-esteem, Chinese students scored higher on public collective self-esteem but lower on membership, private, and identity collective self-esteem than Caucasian students. On self-construal, Chinese students scored higher on interdependent self-construal but lower on independent self-construal. Chinese students also scored lower on self-oriented and other-oriented perfectionism. With respect to within-group relationships, socially prescribed perfectionism was a stronger predictor of trait anxiety for Caucasian students and a stronger predictor of social anxiety for Chinese students. Self-oriented perfectionism only predicted anxiety for Caucasian students but in a negative direction. Independent self-construal predicted anxiety better for Caucasian students than for Chinese students. For collective self-esteem, membership collective self-esteem was a stronger negative predictor of anxiety for Chinese. For the selected Chinese personality constructs, harmony only predicted social avoidance positively for Chinese students. Interestingly, face was a strong predictor of almost all the anxiety measures for Caucasian students, but it did not predict any of the anxiety measures for Chinese students. These results were discussed in terms of cultural variations that reflect the influences of general social-cultural factors on the self. A differential and dynamic perspective was recommended for future research on cross-cultural relevance of personality constructs. Implications regarding counseling were also discussed in terms of providing more culturally responsive treatments of anxiety problems among college students.

Book excerpt: Choosing a college major is an important decision, setting the academic trajectory for undergraduate students. Therefore, extensive researched has been conducted to understand the influential factors in their college major decision-making process. While existing research posits personal interests as the main influential factor, studies have found that parental influence and other external factors play a critical role in Asian American students’ decisions. For these students who are heavily influenced by external factors, the impact of their decision on their overall college experience is unknown. Because Korean and Chinese American college students reported experiencing lower levels of sense of belonging compared to their Asian ethnic peers (Li, 2018) despite having among the highest rate of degree attainment, this study focused on the experiences of East Asian American college students. Using a phenomenological approach, this study explored the potential contribution of college major decision on the overall college experience and sense of belonging for nine second-generation East Asian American students. To guide the study, a conceptual framework incorporating Astin’s (1991) Input-Environment-Output Model, Accapadi’s (2012) Point of Entry Model for Asian American Identity Consciousness, and Cultural Identity Theory was constructed. The findings supported existing literature that personal interest was a significant factor in participants’ college major decision, but parental influence and cultural values were found to also play an integral role in this decision and continued to impact the ways in which participants navigated their undergraduate career. While mixed findings were discovered regarding participants’ belonging in their major, participants largely experienced belonging through the social connections built on campus. Overall, the findings of the study revealed the complexities that participants had to navigate through in their college major decision and demonstrated the interconnectedness of their decision with their academic and social experience and overall sense of belonging. Furthermore, these findings indicate the need for further research on the experiences of East Asian American students and Asian American students broadly to better support this student population

This book was released on 2011 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the following two studies is to identify the personal and contextual factors and the ways in which 1.5 and second generation Chinese American undergraduate at two universities believe these factors influence their academic and career decision making. While research on career development has identified important social-contextual factors, the roles of hindering and supportive environmental conditions and the ways in which they impact students' academic and career interests and field of study choice have not been as well understood (Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 2002). This study utilizes qualitative methods to examine how 58 Chinese American college students at two universities make meaning of the personal and environmental factors that influence their academic and career development. In the first study, I examine perceptions of how individual factors such as sense of academic identity, self-efficacy beliefs, and personal interest and aptitude influence the development of academic and career interests. Contextual factors such as parental involvement, exposure to extracurricular activities, and university context are considered to be just as influential, if not more. In the second study, the role of parents in guiding their young adult children's career development are dissected further by examining the role of gender in male and female students' perceptions of parental involvement, with mother's and father's involvement examined separately. Findings indicate perceptions of same-sex parents having more direct influence and the perceptions of the nature and degree of influence differing by participants' gender.
