“…As several researchers have emphasized (Bergen 2007;Constantine and Flores 2006;Kerka 1998;Kim 2002a, b;Lundberg et al 1997), exploring the relationships between family variables and career development may be beneficial to students with diverse ethnic and cultural orientations. Particularly, since Korean society becomes more multicultural than ever before and the number of immigrants to other countries and students who study abroad is increasing rapidly, considering more ethnically and culturally diverse contexts in examining the relationships between family variables and career development may provide valuable information to practitioners.…”

“…Specifically, the concept of career maturity has long been considered in career counseling as the essential construct in measuring the career development status of Korean adolescents (Lee and Han 1998). On the basis of the traditional work by Super (1957) and Crites (1978), career maturity has been generally defined as the individual's readiness to make informed, age-appropriate career decisions and cope with career development tasks (Lundberg et al 1997;Savickas 1999). Career maturity is often perceived to consist of attitudinal and cognitive components (Crites 1978;Crites and Savickas 1995;Fouad and Keeley 1992).…”

This study examined the relationships between family systems and high school students' career development. Family adaptability and family cohesion were considered as indicators of family function, and career attitude maturity was conceptualized as a representative factor explaining adolescents' career development. A total of 634 high school students participated in this study. Overall, the results showed that family adaptability and family cohesion were both significant predictors of tenth graders' career attitude maturity. The effects of parents' educational backgrounds on career attitude maturity were negligible. However, the relationships were inconsistent across gender. For female students, family cohesion was a more influential predictor of career attitude maturity than family adaptability, while the opposite pattern was observed for the male students.

“…A number of studies have examined the relevance of some widely used measures with Mexican American samples and reported evidence supporting the cross-cultural validity of these scales (e.g., Fouad, Smith, & Enochs, 1997;Fouad & Spreda, 1996;Lundberg, Osborne, & Miner, 1997;Robitschek, 2003). The current study sought to address the deficit in the cross-cultural literature by assessing the validity of two feminist scales with a sample of Mexican American adolescent women.…”

This study examined the psychometric properties of the Feminist Identity Development Scale (FIDS) and the Attitudes Toward Feminism and the Women's Movement Scale (FWM) with 389 Mexican American 11th-grade and 12th-grade women. Results indicated internal consistency coefficients of .61, .62, .76, and .77 for the FIDS Passive Acceptance, Revelation, EmbeddednessEmanation, and Active Commitment subscales, respectively, and .67 for the FWM. Mexican American high school women scored significantly differently on the feminism scales when compared to samples from previously published studies. Results from factor analyses failed to support the previously published FIDS factor structure. A two-factor model of feminist attitudes was identified with the factors being labeled Feminist Orientation and Traditional Orientation. Implications for the assessment of feminist attitudes and feminist identity with Mexican American adolescent women are discussed.A long-standing critique in the gender and feminist attitude literature is the definitional shortcomings and inconsistencies that have complicated the assessment of feminist-related attitudes (

The results support the hypothesis that, within the department studied, there was a significant association between similarities in personality type and the rankings that individual faculty interviewers assigned to applicants at the completion of each interview session. The authors believe that it is important for the faculty member to recognize that this tendency exists. Finally, promoting diversity within the admission committee may foster a diverse resident body and orthopaedic workforce.
