| Popis: | African American adolescents’ career development has gained increased attention in light of various barriers affecting their educational and career development goals. The author examined relationships among career decision self-efficacy, ethnic identity, and academic self-concept of 104 African American high school students enrolled in Upward Bound programs. Participants responded to measures of career decision self-efficacy, ethnic identity, and academic self-concept. Results indicated that career decision self-efficacy was significantly and positively correlated with ethnic identity and academic self-concept. In addition, academic self-concept was found to be a stronger predictor of career decision self-efficacy than was ethnic identity. The results of this study may assist counselors, teachers, administrators, and parents to understand career decision self-efficacy as it relates to ethnic identity, academic self-concept, and demographic variables. This research supports the need for continued career-related interventions within the schools designed to focus on factors related to ethnic minorities to help foster their career development. |
