Vocational Preferences of Early Adolescents: Their Development in Social Context.

Vondracek, Fred W.; Silbereisen, Rainer K.; Reitzle, Matthias; Wiesner, Margit

Journal of Adolescent Research, v14 n3 p267-88 Jul 1999

This study compared the timing of early vocational preferences in young adolescents from former East Germany and West Germany. Results suggested that as the memory of the Communist system fades and as younger adolescents have had less exposure to it, East-West differences tend to disappear. The formation of early vocational preferences was associated with more advanced identity development. (Author/KB)
