| Title |
Achievement Orientation and Occupational Values: A Comparative Study of Young French and English Canadians
|
| Abstract |
The authors studied the psychological profiles of Anglophone and Francophone youths in Quebec in the mid-1970s to find out whether the culture-based differences between Anglophone and Francophone adults reported in earlier studies were prevalent among the younger generation. Comparison of the two groups was made with respect to their achievement orientation, risk-taking behavior, educational and occupational aspirations, and occupational values. A matched sample of 248 Francophone and 123 Anglophone final year high school students were administered a questionnaire assessing each of these variables and the Rotter Internal–External Locus of Control Scale. Results showed that while the occupational aspiration levels of the Francophones were as high as those of the Anglophones, the former group exhibited a lesser concern for individual achievement and risk taking, and a greater concern for a more secure interpersonal climate at work than the latter group. The authors concluded that the differences between the two groups in their occupational values closely resembled the differences reported for adults, suggesting the continuing influences of the two distinct cultures in Quebec.
