Title
Family Influences on the Development of Vocational Interests in Adolescent Children of Immigrants : A Test of Holland's Propositions Regarding Occupational Type Development
Abstract
An examination of the influence of Greek immigrant families living in Montreal on the parent-offspring vocational type agreement compared to non-immigrant families, The immigrant sample consisted of 100 Canadian-born children of Greek-born immigrants to Canada. The non-immigrant sample consisted of 80 children of Canadian-born, Anglophone parents. The author’s results revealed: (a) no significantly high agreement between Parental and Offspring Typology in either ethnic group; (b) no significant influence of parental ethnicity, SES or level of education on the Parent-Offspring Type agreement in either ethnic group; and (c) significant influence of offspring's gender on the Parent-Offspring Type agreement, which is higher for the male than the female offspring, in both ethnic groups.
