Abstract

Este estudo centra-se no impacto da situação profissional parental (emprego e desemprego) nos trajectos vocacionais dos filhos. Foi administrada a Escala de Exploração e Investimento Vocacional (EEIV) a 327 adolescentes do 9º e 12º anos de escolaridade de escolas públicas da região do Porto-Portugal. Os resultados indicam que os adolescentes filhos de pais empregados manifestam significativamente mais comportamentos de investimento vocacional do que os adolescentes filhos de pais desempregados. Além disso, os filhos de pais desempregados tendem a apresentar médias mais elevadas em termos de difusão vocacional e tendência a excluir opções do que os filhos de pais empregados. Os resultados são discutidos, retirando-se implicações para a intervenção psicológica e salientando-se direcções para futuras investigações.

Translated abstract

This investigation studies the impact of parental job situation (employed or unemployed) on the vocational courses of their children. The sample is composed of 327 adolescents from both school and high school from public institutions in Porto-Portugal. They answered an Exploration and Commitment Career Scale (ECCS). Results indicate that the children of employed parents tend to invest more on their vocational development than the children of unemployed parents. Besides that, the latter also tend to present more vocational diffusion and a tendency to exclude career options than the children of employed parents. From the results implications are drawn for psychological vocational intervention and directions are pointed out for future investigations in this subject.

Differential premises arising from differential socialization of the sexes: some conjectures.

Torin Block (1983)

The sex-differentiated socialization emphases of parents and other representatives of societal institutions are considered as they influence the personality development and behavioral orientations of males and females. Specifically, sex-differentiated socialization emphases, "shaping" behaviors, and teaching styles are evaluated with regard to the nature of the "meta-messages" conveyed to boys and girls during their early, formative years. These messages are assumed to differentially influence the self-concepts evolved, ego structures, personal goals, and the cognitive-adaptational heuristics of boys and of girls. Differences in the socialization environments experienced by the 2 sexes can be seen as related to gender differences in personality characteristics. To integrate the empirical findings surrounding gender differences in personality and socialization experience, some conjectures are offered regarding the different self- and world views our current culture may be creating and fostering in males and in females. The potential and even likely influence of biological factors conjoined with the bidirectional effects of child and parent interaction are recognized as confounded with an interpretation in terms of differential socialization. But also, it is noted that until the effects of differential socialization are specifically evaluated by cultural, subcultural, or individual family changes, the role of biological and bidirectional factors cannot be assessed.
