Book Sociocultural Predictors of Career Decision making Self efficacy Among Latino College Students at a Hispanic serving Institution

Download or read book Sociocultural Predictors of Career Decision making Self efficacy Among Latino College Students at a Hispanic serving Institution written by Benjamin J. Neeley and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Latino population in the United States is growing rapidly along with the number of Latino college entrants. However, a significantly smaller percentage of Latino college students go on to graduate with four-year degrees when compared to other racial/ethnic groups. Career decision-making self-efficacy (CDMSE) has been identified as an important variable to consider given its empirically supported associations with academic persistence and lower college dropout rates. While research has supported the academic and career benefits of higher CDMSE levels, gaps in the literature exist regarding CDMSE and sociocultural factors among Latino university students. Utilizing Social Cognitive Career Theory as the theoretical framework, this study explored multiple sociocultural variables (i.e., acculturation, college generational status, and cultural congruity) and their associations with CDMSE among a sample of 260 Latino college students at a Hispanic-Serving Institution and Land Grant University in the southwestern United States. Regression analyses confirmed that both Anglo-oriented acculturation and cultural congruity significantly and positively predicted CDMSE. A hierarchical regression analysis determined that cultural congruity contributed unique and significant variance in CDMSE after accounting for the influences of acculturation and college generational status. A t-test analysis found no significant differences in CDMSE scores between first-generation and continuing generation college students. Implications for counseling psychology, study limitations, and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Book Perceived Career Barriers

Download or read book Perceived Career Barriers written by Brenda Xiomara Mejia and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of a modified path model demonstrated that, for this sample, career decision self-efficacy mediated the influence of ethnic identity and Anglo bicultural orientation on the perception of career barriers. The findings also point to the role of ethnic identity in augmenting Latina/o students' career decision self-efficacy and increasing awareness about career barriers (e.g., ethnic discrimination). The current study contributes to the literature promoting a liberational approach to vocational and counseling psychology theory, research, and practice. Limitations and implications for theory, research, training, and practice are discussed.

Book Career Development and Vocational Behavior of Racial and Ethnic Minorities

Download or read book Career Development and Vocational Behavior of Racial and Ethnic Minorities written by Frederick T.L. Leong and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the single most comprehensive source of knowledge on the career development of racial and ethnic minorities. In so doing, it serves as a resource to graduate students learning about career development and career counseling, counselors and psychologists providing career counseling to racial and ethnic minorities, and psychologists and counselors doing research on the career development of these diverse groups. In recognition of the value of both culture-specific and culture-general information about the vocational psychology of racial and ethnic minorities in the United States, the book has a dual focus. The first eight chapters are devoted to culture-specific information about career development and vocational behavior. The final two chapters synthesize and integrate the materials presented in the eight culture-specific chapters. The text has been divided into three sections. The first section focuses on career theory and research with racial and ethnic minorities. It consists of a review of the relevance and utility of various career theories and models from mainstream vocational psychology to our understanding of the vocational behavior and career development of racial and ethnic minorities -- African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, and American Indians. These chapters also summarize other theories from ethnic minority psychology that add to our understanding of minority career development. Finally, they review the existing empirical literature on the career development of these groups and provide a critique of this literature with recommendations for future research. The second section focuses on assessment and intervention with racial and ethnic minorities. The inclusion of the assessment dimension is very important because assessment is such a large and significant component of the career counseling process with these groups. The chapter authors offer guidelines and recommendations for providing career interventions with racial and ethnic minorities. In presenting these guidelines, they also address some of the cultural factors unique to each group that may serve either as facilitators or as inhibitors in the career counseling process. The third section includes commentaries, suggestions, reactions, and syntheses of the previous sections from scholars in the field of vocational psychology. These authors identify and examine the common principles, problems, and themes running across the chapters, and offer suggestions for advancing the field of racial and ethnic minority vocational psychology. This book will become both a valuable source of current information about the vocational psychology of racial and ethnic minorities as well as an inspiration for future research into the career development and vocational behavior of these culturally different individuals.

Book The Relationship Among Acculturation  Self esteem  and Cigarette Use in Mexican American College Students

Download or read book The Relationship Among Acculturation Self esteem and Cigarette Use in Mexican American College Students written by Molly Cain and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acculturation has persistently been found to be associated with tobacco use in Latinos, yet the literature disagrees on the direction and the measurement of this relationship. In order to better understand this, as well as provide further evidence for the use of bi-dimensional models of acculturation and the role of mediators, the current study combined these strengths from previous studies within one sample. We examined the degree to which Hispanic and American acculturation is associated with self-esteem and cigarette use in a sample of college aged Mexican-American students. Analyses showed that American acculturation was not associated with cigarette use in the past month, and self-esteem did not mediate this relationship. Hispanic acculturation was associated with reduced self-esteem, while self-esteem predicted a reduction in total cigarettes used for men but not for women. These results indicate that although Mexican-American men and women are effected by acculturation and their individual self-esteem, their health behaviors are affected in a different manner. It is critical to study both the psychological and the cultural variables that could contribute to smoking in order to properly interpret this relationship.
