A study of Adolescent Career Thoughts. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, June 2009, Pages: 180
This study used ordinary least squares multiple
regressions to examine 10th-, 11th, and 12th-grade
Career and Technical High (CTC) School students’
gender, student disability, student grade, highest
education level of most educated parent, parental
attachment, and parental involvement on career
thoughts and its constructs of Decision Making
Confusion (DCM), Commitment Anxiety (CA), and
External Conflict (EC). In addition, Cohen’s d effect
sizes and confidence intervals were used to examine
for statistically significant difference in 11th- and
12th-grade CTC high school students’ Career Thoughts
Inventory (CTI) dysfunctional career thinking total
scores and subscale scores of DMC, CA, and EC
compared to 11th- and 12th-grade academic high school
students CTI global and subscale scores. Results for
376 CTC high school students suggested that parental
attachment subscale scores of Trust and Alienation
contributed to dysfunctional career thinking scores
and its subscale scores. Findings between 299 CTC
high school students and 396 academic high school
students indicate no practical significance for
career thoughts total and CA scores but practical
significance for DCM and EC scores.
