Differences of Work Values between Groups of Students Categorized on the Basis of Parental Occupations.

Mietus, Walter S.

Journal of Industrial Teacher Education, v16 n4 p56-63 Sum 1979

Work values of groups of Maryland high school seniors were measured using the Maryland work Value Inventory, to find if students from different backgrounds would have different work values. It was found that categorizing students on the basis of how they classified their parents' occupations did produce different work value profiles. (MF)
