“…Often they were dissuaded by others, such as family members, to pursue an artist career due to the financial insecurity often associated with the visual arts. This findings support the idea that prestige or financial security of an occupation may be an important variable to examine when thinking about the career decision making process for Asian Americans (Tang et al, 1997;Fouad et al, 2008). One way some participants could overcome this is to gain information regarding how artists can be fiscally successful and or earn grants or fellowships to help them pursue a career in the arts.…”

“…For those who experienced some sort of conflict, many of the participants spoke about compromising their career choice to appease their parents. The compromising of career due to family influences as a factor in the career decision and development process for Asian Americans has been documented in prior research (Leung, 1993;Fouad et al, 2008). This compromise has been attributed to the collectivistic cultural value of the importance of offspring upholding the family's social status and accomplishment (Leong, 1996).…”

“…Contextual factors greatly influence the decision making process for racial ethnic minorities (Ali, Lewis, & Sandil, 2006;Leong & Serafica, 1995;Fouad & BryarsWinston, 2005;Fouad et al, 2008;Tang, 2002). This is supported by Fouad and BryarsWinston's (2005) assertion that "work is a cultural construction" (pp.224).…”

“…Career values are internal or external rewards or results that one expects to gain through the chosen career. Previous research has shown that perceptions of value are closely related to career development and decisions (Fouad et al, 2008). For example, some researchers have found that women tend not to prefer STEM careers, except in bio-medicine, because they value altruistic behavior or interpersonal relationships more than men (Diekman, Clark, Johnston, Brown, & Steinberg, 2011).…”

The purpose of this study was to understand the career motivation of secondary students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) by comparing Korean and Indonesian students. Effects of gender and educational level on students' STEM career motivation were also examined. To test for differences, we used Rasch analysis, 3-way ANOVA, correlation analysis, and multiple group path analysis. STEM career motivation was found to be significantly affected by interactions between country, gender, and educational level. Overall, Indonesian students had more STEM career motivation than Korean students. Korean students showed larger gender differences in STEM career motivation than Indonesian students. Resumen. Motivación de los estudiantes de secundaria para la carrera en STEM: Estudio transcultural entre Corea e Indonesia. El propósito de este estudio fue entender la motivación de los estudiantes de secundaria para la carrera en Ciencias, Tecnología, Ingeniería y Matemáticas (STEM) comparando estudiantes de Corea e Indonesia. También se examinaron los efectos de género y nivel educativo sobre la motivación de los estudiantes para la carrera en STEM. Para probar las diferencias se usó el análisis Rasch, el 3 vias ANOVA, el análisis correlacional y el análisis de ruta en grupo múltiple. La motivación para la carrera en STEM se encontró significativamente afectada por las interacciones entre país, género y nivel educativo. En general, los estudiantes indonesios tenían más motivación para la carrera en STEM que los estudiantes coreanos. Los estudiantes coreanos mostraron mayores diferencias de género en las motivaciones para la carrera en STEM que los estudiantes indonesios. Résumé

“…Examples of nomethetic approaches would be studying the middle school version of the Self-Directed Search with mostly African American students (Osborn & Reardon, 2006) and exploring the validity of the Self-Directed Search-Chinese version (Yang, Lance & Hul, 2006) or the structure of RIASEC scores in China (Long & Tracey, 2006). Examples of culture-focused career assessment studies include a longitudinal assessment of Portuguese children (Araújo, & do Céu Taveira, 2007), and a qualitative analysis of Asian Americans' career development (Fouad et al 2008). Studies examining the usability of an existing assessment with other cultures must determine the validity and reliability of that assessment for that specific culture (Duarte, 2005).…”

Career assessments are a common resource used by career practitioners internationally to help inform individuals' career decision-making. Research on the topic of cross-cultural career assessment has been mostly limited to the applicability of an established inventory to a different culture. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the existing research on cross-cultural assessment, and to indicate a need for collaboration among career development associations with respect to the value and use of career assessments, using current ethical standards as a springboard for determining common ground and perhaps a joint statement about the value of career assessments.Résumé. Un débat international sur l'évaluation psychologique en orientation dans un contexte interculturel. L'évaluation psychologique est une ressource couramment utilisée par les praticiens de l'orientation à travers le monde pour aider les individus à prendre des décisions de carrière de manière informée. La recherche interculturelle sur le thème de l'évaluation psychologique en orientation s'est essentiellement intéressée à vérifier la validité d'inventaires utilisés dans une culture différente. Le but de cet article est de résumer les recherches interculturelles sur l'évaluation en orientation, et de mettre en évidence la nécessité d'une collaboration internationale entre associations professionnelles pour évaluer de manière commune la pertinence et accompagner la pratique de l'évaluation psychologique en orientation dans un contexte interculturel, en se fondant sur les principes éthiques s'appliquant à cette pratique.Zusammenfassung.
