| Title |
Factors Affecting the Occupational Expectations of Greek-Origin Adolescents
|
| Abstract |
The author examined and quantitatively contrasted the effects of parental socio-economic status, parental occupational expectations for their adolescent son’s academic performance, and his occupational expectations, circa early 1980s. Family groupings of father, mother and their 15-year-old first-born son in 75 Greek immigrant Montreal families served as subjects. A path analytic technique was used by the author to examine simultaneously the effects of the above predictors and to estimate their direct as well as indirect effects on the adolescents' occupational expectations. The author’s analysis indicated that different status components of the father and the mother influence their own as well as the adolescent's occupational expectations by quite different processes. Adolescent academic performance and parental occupational expectations proved to be the strongest predictors of occupational expectations.
