The Relationship of Self and Occupational Concepts to the Occupational Preferences of Adolescents.

Kidd, Jennifer M.

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v24 n1 p48-65 Feb 1984

Tested aspects of Super's self-concept theory of career development with a sample of British schoolchildren (N=355). Results showed that agreement between ideal self-concepts and occupational preference concepts was significantly greater than that between actual self-concepts and occupational preference concepts, reflecting the youngsters' greater concern for the future.
