| Popis: | 92 The purposes of this study were to: (a) investigate the current situation of career self-concept of high school students from a single-parent family, (b) explore the individual factors (i.e. gender and personality traits), family factors (i.e. the reasons of being single-parent, the time of losing parent, the attachment to single-parent, and parenting styles), and school factors (i.e. the influence of peers, participation of school activities) for the influence of career self-concept of high school students from a single-parent family, (c) compare the differences of career self-concept between the students from a single-parent family and a parental family. The participants are 634 students (single-parent students 253 and parental students 381) from 11 high schools in central and southern Taiwan. The instruments used in this study included Personality Trait Questionnaire, Parenting Style Questionnaire and Career Self-concept Questionnaire. The statistical methods used to analyze the data were one-way repeated measures ANOVA, t-test, Hotelling’s T2, multiple regression analysis, Canonical correlation, one-way ANOVA, and one-way MANOVA. The major findings were as the following: (1) For the group of single-parent subjects, the score on career interest is the highest, but the career knowledge is the lowest. (2) Gender in whole career self-concept was not significant for high school students from a single-parent family. (3) The extraversion, agreeableness, and intellectual openness of personality traits could predict subjects’ career self-concept positively. (4) There was canonical correlation between personality traits and career self-concept of high school students from a single-parent family. (5) The differences in the reasons of being single-parent, the time of losing parent, and the attachment to single-parent of high school students from a single-parent family on career self-concept were not significant. (6) The indulgent-protective parenting could predict career self-concept negatively; however the democratic-authoritative parenting could predict positively. (7) The democratic-authoritative parenting was related to career ability positively, the authoritarian parenting was related to career value positively, the democratic-authoritative parenting was related to career aspiration positively, the democratic-authoritative parenting was related to career interest positively, among them, the first correlation is the highest. (8) The subjects who participated more school activities and had higher influence to peers had higher career self-concept. (9) No significant difference existed between single-parent subjects and parental subjects regarding their career self-concept. Based on the findings in this research, suggestions for career counseling of high school students from a single-parent family and directions for future research were provided. |
