“…Narrative has also been used in research where it achieves an integration of both in-depth and contextualised views of individual experience that would not be attainable by traditional methods (Cochran, 1990); and a holistic view of dynamic experiences, encompassing both the objective and the subjective career (Cohen & Mallon, 2001). It represents the cultural understanding about career, the outcomes of relationships the individual has with others, and the positioning of self in relation to others (Young, Friesen, & Borycki, 1994).…”

Other disciplines offer new perspectives, concepts, and models that would help vocational psychology reinvigorate itself. The paper identifies contributions (such as narrative) that post-modern sources and scientific disciplines could make, though with reservations about importing ideas from the physical sciences into the social sciences. There would also be challenges for vocational psychology, primarily to its core values as a science but those could change over time. As an example, the paper then discusses how some of the lessons of narratology could enrich post-modern approaches, while its structuralism could enable vocational psychology to take advantage of the potential contributions of narrative.Résumé Contributions d'autres disciplines et défis pour la psychologie vocationnelle: Exemples des récits et de la narratologie. D'autres disciplines offrent de nouvelles perspectives, de nouveaux concepts et modèles qui pourraient aider la psychologie vocationnelle à se revigorer. Cet article identifie des contributions (telles que le récit) que les sources post-modernes et les disciplines scientifiques pourraient apporter, avec les réserves d'usage quant à l'importation d'idées en provenance des sciences physiques dans les sciences sociales. Il pourrait aussi y avoir des défis à relever pour la psychologie vocationnelle, principalement quant à ses valeurs fondamentales comme science avec une évolution possible au cours du temps. Comme exemple, l'article discute la manière dont certaines des leçons de la narratologie pourraient enrichir les approches post-modernes, tandis que son caractère structuraliste pourrait permettre à la psychologie vocationnelle de tirer profit des contributions potentielles du récit.

“…Gottfredson (1981) has suggested that at this age social class is a prime variable that these girls use to evaluate their career options. Additional research, perhaps using narratives (e.g., Young et al, 1994), constructivist methods (Savickas, 1994), or other qualitative approaches ( Richardson, 1993), is needed to determine what environmental factors influence the daughter, her mother, and their relationship in terms of career-related processes-and-outcome variables.…”

“…The developmental goal is a balance of daughters' independence from (i.e., psychological separation from) and connection with (i.e., attachment to) their mothers, a balance that promotes progress toward identity achievement for the adolescent. Theoretically, achievement of developmental tasks, including career development, throughout adolescence is facilitated by the psychological security of healthy levels of attachment between adolescents and attachment figures, particularly parents (e.g., Blustein, Prezioso, & Schultheiss, 1995;Young, Friesen, & Borycki, 1994).…”

Abstract:Two models of the career development of early adolescent girls were investigated. For each model, endogenous variables were adolescents' gender role attitudes and the mother-daughter relationship (psychological separation and attachment); exogenous variables were adolescents' grade point averages, agentic characteristics, and a latent variable, maternal characteristics. Career orientation (Model 1) and career aspirations (Model 2) were the final outcome variables. A sample of 276 girls drawn from 7th and 8th graders in the rural area of a southeastern state and their mothers participated. In both models, adolescents' agentic characteristics and maternal variables contributed significantly to adolescents' gender role attitudes. In addition, in Model 2, adolescents' agentic characteristics and the mother-daughter relationship contributed to the girls' career aspirations.Keywords: girls | sex role attitudes | mother-daughter relationship | grade point averages | agentic | maternal characteristics | career orientation | aspirations | female 7th-8th graders Article:Since the years of World War II, women have entered the workforce in steadily increasing numbers, both before and after marriage, with and without children ( Betz & Fitzgerald, 1987). By 1990, approximately 57 million adult women (16 years and older) were in the paid labor force in the United States, and it is projected that women will compose 47% of the labor force by 2005 ( U.S. Department of Labor, 1992). For many women today, working outside the home is almost inevitable. As Hyde (1985) discovered, the working woman today is not a deviation from the norm. Rather, she is the norm.It thus appears that there is no longer much question whether women will participate in the labor force. More relevant questions today are what types of careers women consider and what factors influence their choices, particularly in light of evidence that most women continue to be employed in low-paying, traditionally female careers and jobs, such as social work, teaching, nursing, sales, technical work, and administrative support positions ( Post-Kammer & Smith,

“…Turning points allow narrators to substantially change their assessment of their life (McAdams, 1993), frequently from failure to success (Young, Friesen, & Borycki, 1994). Often such turning points are preceded by a dramatic climate, and narrators are suddenly once again able to view their life optimistically and recognize possibilities for dealing with the situation at hand.…”

Narrative Means to Manage Responsibility in Life Narratives Across Adolescence

Adolescence is a passage from dependence to adult responsibility. Alongside identity development, social-cognitive development, and the ability to construct a life story, adolescents become increasingly aware of both their potential responsibility in an expanded sphere of life and of complex, contextual influences on their lives. This was partially tested in a cross-sectional study, both in terms of linguistic means and content expressed in life narratives. Indicators were defined for narrative agency, grading of responsibility, serendipity, and turning points, and tested for age differences in relative frequencies in 102 life narratives from age groups of 8, 12, 16, and 20 years, balanced for gender. Narrative grading of responsibility, serendipity, and turning points increased throughout adolescence. The relative frequency of narrative agency, in contrast, remained constant across age groups. Results are interpreted in the context of adolescent development of narrative identity.
