“…Moreover, the presence of racist attitudes and behaviors are so widespread that some research practitioners suggest that sensitive inquiry about the extent of ethnic minority clients to exposure to race rated stressors would be an extremely useful component of any mental health assessment (Carter, 1991;Parham & Helms, 1985;Scufield & David, 2001;Spencer & Markstrom-Adams, 1990). In addition, racial identity status has been associated with, and predictive of, how African Americans manage painful affect (Neveill, Heppner, & Wang, 1997;Wilson & Constatine, 1999), aggression (DeCarlo, 2001 this study), levels of internal locus of control (Jackson & Neville, 1998), and general psychological functioning (Loo, Fair bank, & Scurfield king, 1999). For adolescents, poor identity has also been related to low selfesteem, low school achievement, school drop out, teenage pregnancy, gang involvement, eating disorders and drug abuse, (Cross, 1991;Thomas & Speight, 1999).…”

The aim of this study was to provide empirical evidence for the notion that social work interventionists should consider identity issues in African American adolescents as a foci in the development of intervention strategies. The author provides an overview of the major identity constructs and their interrelationships in African American adolescents. An example of the pervasiveness of relevant identity issues in African American adolescents was demonstrated by using a regression analysis to determine how identity characteristics predicted various forms of aggression in incarcerated and nonincarcerated youth. Significant statistical findings and theoretical support was used to sustain the rational of ''identity matters.''

“…Jackson and Neville (1998) reported that strong and affirmative racial identity attitudes accounted for a significant amount of variability in the vocational identity of Black females but not males. Leong (1991) found no cultural group differences in vocational identity between Anglo and Asian American participants, whereas Abraham (1986) reported that Mexican American participants were more foreclosed in their occupational identity than their Anglo American peers regardless of socioeconomic status.…”

Psychosocial Development Factors Associated with Occupational and Vocational Identity Between Infancy and Adolescence

The identification with an occupation is a challenge most adolescents face in their transition into adulthood. Psychosocial development theory suggests that adolescents' identification with an occupation develops across the lifespan, making youth work roles, choices, and behaviors products of their integrated psychosocial development experiences. This review examines the existing occupational and vocational identity literature to identify the associations with factors relevant to psychosocial development between infancy and adolescence, and integrates them to provide a more comprehensive understanding of how adolescents identify with an occupation. The review reveals that the factors important to healthy psychosocial development in each of Erikson's five preadult stages largely were predictive of occupational identity status in adolescence. Disagreement was present in the literature, with most of it centered on the role of complex outer and environmental factors. The review highlights gaps in the literature and prioritizes areas for future research based largely on a return to Erikson's intention of treating occupational identity as developmental. The review adds to the current debates and knowledge of youth development and of how adolescents identify with an occupation by providing an integration of the existing empirical evidence not just at the point of adolescence, but also across the entire pre-adult lifespan.

“…Vários estudos apontam a relação entre a esperança e o desempenho académico (Kenny, Bluestein, Bempechat & Seltzer, 2010;Snyder, Cheavens & Michael, 1999;, a identidade vocacional (Diemer & Blustein, 2007;Jackson & Neville, 1998;Juntumen & Wettersten, 2006), o desempenho profissional (Peterson & Byron, 2008), e as estratégias de coping (Gum & Snyder, 2002 Instrumentos. Neste estudo recorreu-se à utilização de dois instrumentos, o questionário sociodemográfico e a Escala Esperança no Trabalho, que passamos a descrever a seguir.…”

Integrated into the more general concept of hope, the work hope has been conceptualized as the key resource in promoting of the individual good operation in the context of the work. The aim of this study is to analyse the dimensionality of the Work Hope Scale with a sample of 490 Portuguese students attending the secondary schools. The scale shows good levels of internal consistency and construct validity. There are significant differences between groups specially between the gender and the type of education pathway. Keywords: secondary education, work hope, vocational development, career advice.A esperança é um conceito que tem, recentemente, suscitado o interesse crescente dos investigadores. Apesar de a esperança ter sido estudada desde a Antiguidade e de várias conceptualizações e modelos de que foi alvo ao longo dos tempos, é com Snyder et al. (1991) que se encontra o modelo mais utilizado, o modelo tripartido. Estes autores, no desenvolvimento e modo de avaliar o constructo, definem esperança como uma cognição direcionada a um objetivo, acompanhada da capacidade de definir trajetórias para o atingir e da motivação necessária para as percorrer.De acordo com a teoria de Snyder (1994), a esperança é um constructo que possui três componentes: objetivos (Goals), caminhos (Pathways) e agenciamento (Agency).O conceito de caminhos (Pathways) refere-se à noção de estar apto para identificar e/ou definir planos bem-sucedidos que vão ao encontro dos objetivos desejados (Snyder et al., 1991) e traduz-se na sensação de planear bem para o alcance dos objetivos pessoais. O conceito de agenciamento (Agency) constitui a componente motivacional da teoria da esperança que se traduz numa elevada persistência, nomeadamente perante dificuldades e obstáculos (Snyder, 2000), sendo definida como a sensação de triunfo na consecução desses objetivos. Esta componente refere-se à perceção subjetiva de sucesso no alcance dos objetivos no passado, presente e futuro (Snyder et al., 1991). Existem, por isso, três componentes, mas apenas duas formas de pensar, operacionalizadas pelos caminhos e pelo agenciamento, caracterizando-se a esperança como um constructo bidimensional (Pedrotti, Edwards & Lopez, 2008). Primeiro, o indivíduo acredita ser capaz de elaborar alternativas para a resolução de conflitos e, segundo, demonstra agência ao se aperceber que possui as capacidades necessárias para alcançar os objetivos delineados. Ambos os componentes são aditivos, recíprocos e positivamente relacionados, levando a resultados bem-sucedidos (Snyder et al., 1991).Segundo Snyder (2000), a esperança implica um sistema dinâmico, cognitivo e motivacional que pode ser conceptualizado em termos da capacidade percebida de gerar caminhos para os objetivos desejados e de agir através do agenciamento para percorrer esses caminhos. Sujeitos com níveis elevados de esperança possuem um maior número de objetivos em varias áreas da sua vida do que sujeitos com níveis baixos de esperança (Snyder et al., 1991).Ao longo do tempo foram concebidos diversos ins...
