The results of the study indicate that parental involvement, higher poverty levels, and being a female were all predictors of an adolescent's plan after high school. Future studies should investigate different factors that may also have on effect on adolescents, such as other mental health diagnosis or race. Furthermore, professionals in the helping profession and social workers should collaboratively work to develop programs that empower this population to create positive change in their lives and future career.

Book The Impact of Parental Involvement  Socioeconomic Status  and Gender on Academic Success Among Adolescents

Download or read book The Impact of Parental Involvement Socioeconomic Status and Gender on Academic Success Among Adolescents written by Araceli Orozco-Acosta and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that influence plans after high school among adolescents ages 12 to 17 participating in the California Health Interview Survey, 2003. This study examined the impact that factors such as parental involvement, socioeconomic status, and gender have on adolescents plans after high school. The sample consisted of 3,971 adolescents. Results support the positive relationship between parental involvement and plans to go to college/university among adolescents. Specifically, if the adolescent has an adult at home who believes they will be a success they are more likely to plan to attend a college or university. Poverty level was also a predictor of adolescents plans to go to college/university. Those adolescents living in the deepest poverty were more likely than those not in poverty to report they do not plan to go to college or university. Gender differences were also found; female adolescents are more likely to report they plan to go to college/university than males. Future research should focus on obtaining first hand data on adolescents who faced adversities and overcame these adversities to attain a College/University Degree.

Book The Oxford Handbook of Social Class in Counseling

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Social Class in Counseling written by William Ming Liu and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-26 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social class is a pervasive facet of all lives, regardless of one's own social class and status. One would think its ubiquity would make it necessary for all helping professionals to understand social class and discuss it in therapy and research. Yet social class and classism are one of the most confusing and difficult concepts to understand and integrate into research and counseling practice--mostly due to the relative lack of psychological theories, research, and quantitative data. Fulfiling this need, this handbook summarizes and synthesizes available research on social class and classism in counseling practice and research areas. The 32 chapters included offer up-to-date, fascinating, and provocative applications of social class and classism, as seasoned chapter authors provide an overview of theories related to social class and classism and its application toward research, education, training, and practice. Chapters include comprehensive coverage of: - lifespan issues related to social class, such as unique aspects of social class and classism in the lives of children, adolescents, and older adults - how social class is studied and empirically understood through research, assessment, and practice - implications of social class in career counseling, psychological assessment and diagnosis, and the therapy relationship - how social class is implicated in positive psychology, career and work psychology, and health psychology - social class and classism and its connection to whiteness, racism, sexual orientation, religion and spirituality, and social justice This book offers the first compendium of counseling related resources on social class and classism and will be a comprehensive, must-have reference for professionals and academics in counseling psychology and related fields for years to come.

Book Positive Youth Development  Mental Health  and Psychological Well Being in Diverse Youth

Download or read book Positive Youth Development Mental Health and Psychological Well Being in Diverse Youth written by Nora Wiium and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-06-15 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this Research Topic, our aim is to examine how personal resources related to competencies, skills, and self-perception as well as environmental, contextual, and relational features of the social contexts of diverse youth, directly or indirectly are important to mental health and psychological well-being. As previous research on young people has mainly focused on youth’s weaknesses rather than their strengths, our use of Positive Youth Development (PYD) in working with culturally diverse youth and their well-being in this Research Topic is novel. We invite contributions from researchers that were initially presented their papers in a meeting that was held by research partners of the Cross-National Project on Positive Youth Development (CN-PYD), and who represent an international and multidisciplinary panel of experts on PYD. The CN-PYD was initiated in 2014 at the University of Bergen and has an ongoing data collection that involves approximately 10,000 minority and majority youth and emerging adults (ages 16 to 29) living in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, New Zealand, and South America. CN-PYD uses a strengths-based approach to the conceptualization of youth as resources and agentic, which is in opposition to the view of the developmental period of adolescence as being a period inherently fraught with problems and risks. The goal of the cross-national project is to assess personal strengths and contextual resources, considering how these resources come together to facilitate youth thriving and to document how young people make positive and valued contributions to themselves and others. We also advance research on the complex interplay between personal and contextual resources and their connections with risk behaviors and problems, in essence, taking a perspective of the whole child, both in terms of strengths and problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Counseling Adolescents Competently is a comprehensive text for students and professionals compiling foundational and emerging skills in the counseling field. Authors Lee A. Underwood, Ph.D. and Frances L.L. Dailey, Ph.D. review extensive interventions ranging from assessment to diagnosis as well as fresh perspectives on working with this often challenging group. Employing clinical case scenarios and profiles that demonstrate key issues, this book helps the counselor-in-training to understand the relevant theories and research around adolescents to better engage in culturally relevant interventions and treatment planning. Key Features Unlike most literature related to behavioral health services for adolescents, this text is crafted specifically for the profession of counseling, yet is applicable for all behavioral health providers. Case scenarios address critical issues impacting today’s adolescents including their characteristics, technology issues, diagnoses and typologies, special needs, and interventions involving treatment planning. Themes that are commonly faced by teens, including trauma, grief, loss, emotional issues, sexual development, and peers are covered. A diverse range of adolescents from both urban and non-urban settings are examined. This book addresses a broad audience that includes students in behavioral health training, counseling, and school programs; the practicing provider; and administrative/clinical supervisors and educators.
