Book Synopsis Career Indecision Between White American and Asian American Students: The Influence of Psychological Separation and Adult Attachment Orientation by : Chad John Keller
Download or read book Career Indecision Between White American and Asian American Students: The Influence of Psychological Separation and Adult Attachment Orientation written by Chad John Keller and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To varying degrees psychologists have emphasized the influence of interpersonal relationships on the career decision making process, including parental psychological separation and attachment orientation. Models of the career development process, psychological separation and attachment orientation have been criticized as being based on Western, masculine values, which have been applied to women and racial minorities without appropriate consideration of cultural factors. The purpose of this study was to investigate career indecision from a relational and cross-cultural perspective by examining the role of parental psychological separation and attachment orientation in influencing the level of career indecision between White and Asian American undergraduate students. Based on the literature, four hypotheses and two research questions were examined using data completed by 302 White and Asian American undergraduates. Hypothesis one was only partially supported as White Americans demonstrated greater levels of maternal conflictual independence (a dimension of psychological separation) compared to Asia Americans; no cultural differences on ratings of paternal conflictual independence were found. Findings offered no support for hypothesis two predicting cultural and sex differences on rating of attachment anxiety and avoidance. Hypothesis three was partially supported as levels of career indecision within cultural groups were similar for men and women; however, counter to predictions, White Americans and Asian Americans showed similar levels of career decidedness. Partial support was also offered for hypothesis four as low levels of career indecision for White Americans were predicted by high levels of maternal conflictual independence; however, paternal conflictual independence and adult attachment avoidance and anxiety failed to account for significant unique variance. The findings of research question one suggested that for Asian Americans lower levels of career indecision were predicted by high levels of maternal conflictual independence and low levels of attachment anxiety and avoidance. The second research question examining potential cultural and sex differences in the prediction of career indecision indicated no significant differences between and within cultural and sex groups. These findings and their relation to the current literature were discussed, as were the limitations of the study, directions for future research and the implications for the practice of counseling psychology.

This book was released on 2009-01-21 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asian Americans are the fastest growing minority group in the United States. When Asian immigrants arrive in the United States, they regularly encounter a vast number of difficulties integrating themselves into their new culture. In Handbook of Mental Health and Acculturation in Asian American Families, distinguished researchers and clinicians discuss the process of acculturation for individuals and their families, addressing the mental health needs of Asian Americans and thoroughly examining the acculturative process, its common stressors, and characteristics associated with resiliency. This first-of-its-kind, multi-dimensional title synthesizes current acculturation research, while presenting those concepts within a clinical framework. In addition to providing an in-depth look at both past and present research and offering directions for future topics to explore, the book also offers a range of practical tools such as research scales to measure levels of acculturation, interview techniques, and clinical approaches for special populations including children, the elderly, and their families. Thought-provoking and informative, Handbook of Mental Health and Acculturation in Asian American Families will enhance the understanding of the clinical and sociocultural problems Asian Americans face, providing clinicians with all the necessary insights to better care for their patients.

Book excerpt: Asian Americans are one of the fastest growing minority groups in the United States. One of the stereotypes associated with Asians is that they are more likely to choose careers in science, medicine, and engineering rather than social science, inclusive of social work, mass communication, or humanities (Leong & Serafica, 1995; Tang et al., 1999). This occupational stereotyping of Asians is not just a myth in that descriptive studies have shown that only a few Asians choose social work as a career (Lennon, 2005; NASW, 2006). Few studies exist on Asian Americans who do not choose Asian stereotypical career choices, such as social work. Acknowledging this lack of research, the present study was developed to explore the relationships between factors that may influence Asian Americans who choose social work as their career. Based on social cognitive career theory (Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 1994), it was hypothesized that acculturation and family immigration status influenced parental involvement, perceived career barriers, and career outcome expectations of Asian American social workers. A cross-sectional survey design utilizing mixed methods was used in this study. The sample was derived from the members2 database of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW). Among 1,802 of Asian American social workers in the NASW database, those aged 65 or older were excluded and 900 Asian social workers were randomly chosen for this study. A total of 370 Asian American social workers participated in this study with 41 percent of a return rate. Quantitative data were collected through standardized measurements: the Social Work Career Influence Questionnaire (Biggerstaff, 2000); Suinn-Lew Asian Self-Identity Acculturation Scale (Suinn, Rickard-Figueroa, Lew, & Vigil, 1987); Career Barriers Inventory Revised (Swanson, et al., 1996); and eight items from Tang et al.2s (1999) Asian American Career Development Questionnaire. Also, qualitative data were obtained through two open-ended short questions. The data were collected through a combined method of an online survey with option of a paper mail-return questionnaire. Results of the study found significant group differences among family immigration status groups on perceived likelihood and perceived hindrance of career barriers. The 1st generation group perceived the greatest career barriers and the 3rd or higher generation group perceived the least career barriers among the family immigration status groups. However, there was no significant multivariate effect of acculturation on perceived likelihood and hindrance of career barriers, parental involvement, desire to be a therapist, prestige of the profession, and social change mission of the profession. Qualitative data included participants2 diverse perspectives on what factors influenced Asian Americans2 selecting or not selecting social work as a career. Implications and limitations of this study, as well as suggestions for future research, are discussed.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research indicates that cultural and familial factors are important considerations in career counseling with ethnic minorities. However, few studies have examined the impact of these factors with specifically Asian-Americans or sub-groups of Asian-Americans, i.e., Japanese-Americans, Korean-Americans, etc. This study investigates the influence of cognitive-person factors (self-efficacy beliefs, outcome expectations, and interests) and influence of socio-cultural factors (ethnic identity level and parental influence) on the science and non-science domains of Korean-American career choices within the context of social cognitive career theory. Ultimately, due to a lack of data, parental influence is not considered in this study, but it is discussed and pertinent literature is reviewed. The participants included 241 Korean-American undegraduate students from 17 diffferent states. Separate hierarchical regression analyses were conducted for men and women in both the science and non-science career domains. Ethnic identity, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and interest were the predictor variables and career choice was the outcome variable. The study found that for both genders, the effects of all four predicting variables on career choices were signficant in the science domain. In the non-science domain, self-efficacy and outcome expecations were signficant for women, and outcome expectations and career interests were signficiant for men. Notably, outcome expectations were strongest predictors of career choices for both genders and domains. Limitations of the present study and implications for the future studies and interventions were discussed. -Abstract, xi.
Book Synopsis The Ones who Hold the World by : Allison M. Fujii
Download or read book The Ones who Hold the World written by Allison M. Fujii and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Asian American first-generation college students--those who are the first in their families to attend college--comprise a growing yet understudied population within U.S. higher education. This qualitative study explored the career choice process of eleven Asian American first-generation college students who were majoring in arts, humanities, and social science fields. The findings suggest that students' cultural and class identities influenced the way they and their families approached the career choice process. Students often experienced family challenges in pursuing culturally nontypical majors. Participants' stories underscored the importance of culturally relevant support, and receiving such support on campus was instrumental to students' self-efficacy. Contrary to what the model minority myth purports, Asian American first-generation students are complex individuals with unique struggles and motivation in attaining higher education.

Book Synopsis Social Cognitive Career Theory & the Career Development of Southeast Asian American College Students by : Vinh Tan Nguyen
Download or read book Social Cognitive Career Theory & the Career Development of Southeast Asian American College Students written by Vinh Tan Nguyen and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southeast Asian American (SEAA) (Cambodia American, Hmong American, Laotian American, Vietnamese American) college students have historically been neglected by higher education researchers, policymakers, and practioners. This has contributed to their marginalization misrepresentation in higher education as well as to them being underserved and underrepresented by higher education institutions. This study uses social cognitive career theory (SCCT) as the theoretical framework for examining the impact of the model minority myth and of social cognitive factors (e.g., parents, family, peers, institutional agents) on the career development phenomenon of SEAA. This study is significant because it adds to the dearth of literature on Asian American career development in general and SEAA in particular. It is also significant because it is one of the few studies that employs a qualitative approach to studying the career development of SEAA through the SCCT framework

Book excerpt: Choosing a college major is an important decision, setting the academic trajectory for undergraduate students. Therefore, extensive researched has been conducted to understand the influential factors in their college major decision-making process. While existing research posits personal interests as the main influential factor, studies have found that parental influence and other external factors play a critical role in Asian American students’ decisions. For these students who are heavily influenced by external factors, the impact of their decision on their overall college experience is unknown. Because Korean and Chinese American college students reported experiencing lower levels of sense of belonging compared to their Asian ethnic peers (Li, 2018) despite having among the highest rate of degree attainment, this study focused on the experiences of East Asian American college students. Using a phenomenological approach, this study explored the potential contribution of college major decision on the overall college experience and sense of belonging for nine second-generation East Asian American students. To guide the study, a conceptual framework incorporating Astin’s (1991) Input-Environment-Output Model, Accapadi’s (2012) Point of Entry Model for Asian American Identity Consciousness, and Cultural Identity Theory was constructed. The findings supported existing literature that personal interest was a significant factor in participants’ college major decision, but parental influence and cultural values were found to also play an integral role in this decision and continued to impact the ways in which participants navigated their undergraduate career. While mixed findings were discovered regarding participants’ belonging in their major, participants largely experienced belonging through the social connections built on campus. Overall, the findings of the study revealed the complexities that participants had to navigate through in their college major decision and demonstrated the interconnectedness of their decision with their academic and social experience and overall sense of belonging. Furthermore, these findings indicate the need for further research on the experiences of East Asian American students and Asian American students broadly to better support this student population
