“…Diemer and Hsieh (2008) explained that structural racism, oppression, labor market discrimination, and inequitable access to resources related to career development are thought to account for the gap between career aspirations and expectations among lower socioeconomic status adolescents of color. Terrell and Terrell (1981) stated that because African Americans, as a group, have a long history of race-related mistreatment by White people, African Americans may have developed a generalized suspicion or mistrust of White people.…”

The authors explore the hypothesis that career decision‐making self‐efficacy could be affected by negative career thoughts, Big Five personality factors, and cultural mistrust in a sample of African American and Caucasian college students. Findings demonstrated that negative career thinking, openness, and conscientiousness explained a significant amount of variance in career decision‐making self‐efficacy in a general sample of college students, but no unique variance was explained by cultural mistrust in a sample of African American college students.

“…In addition, the study affirms the relevance of the moderators: proactive personality, critical consciousness, social support, and subjective experiences of economic conditions. It may be the case that career adaptability is diminished by periods of unemployment (Maggiori et al, 2013); however, the PWT's proposition, that there may be utility in the PWT's moderators, such as critical consciousness (Diemer & Hsieh, 2008) or social support (Milner et al, 2016), being enhanced and recruited to buffer against the negative effects of the predictors, economic constraints and marginalization, on activities aimed at acquiring decent work. Blustein (2006) asserted vocational psychology provides limited attention to the phenomena of unemployment and underemployment.…”

Unemployment is a ubiquitous problem that is a complex of cultural, economic interpersonal, physical, and psychological dimensions. Whereas the pernicious negative outcomes of unemployment are empirically established in the literature, there is a need to better understand the psychological experiences of unemployment so as to inform interventions that ameliorate its impact. The present research is based on archival interview data and uses the psychology of working theory to understand 32 individuals’ experiences of unemployment. The findings include themes that are consistent with the hypothesized predictors posited in the theory, including marginalization, economic constraints, volition, career adaptability, proactive personality, critical consciousness, social support, and economic conditions. The research findings affirm the conceptual precepts of the theory with regard to its predictors; thus, this contribution to the literature on the psychology of working and unemployment opens new perspectives on a perennial problem.

“…This kind of informal educational context may have spillover effects that positively influence young people's engagement in classrooms. In America, socio-political development among low-income youth of colour has been associated with higher academic achievement, optimism about the future, increased personal competence and greater occupational expectations and attainment (Diemer & Blustein 2006;Diemer & Hsieh 2008).…”

In this paper I describe and analyse how critical pedagogy, an approach to teaching and learning that encourages students to reflect on their socio-political contexts, may stimulate critical consciousness and dialogue at a youth radio show. The participants, who attended four diverse Cape Town high schools and predominantly lived in poor townships, named the show Youth Amplified. Youth Amplified dialogues were catalysed by a range of materials, including documentary films, newspapers and academic articles, which participants engaged with prior to the show. Participants then generated questions, which contributed to the dialogues that took place live on air. Two central themes emerged from the radio shows. First, the values and discourses of elite schools were transported to Youth Amplified and presented as incontestable truths that often denigrated marginalised learners. Second, participants used 'race' as a marker of social difference to make sense of peers and South African society. I argue that critical pedagogy interventions also need to work with educators to reflect on inequalities and socio-political contexts, if such interventions are to be successful. The show illuminated that young South Africans want to speak about racialised and class-based forms of historical oppression, but that these kinds of discussions require skilled facilitation.
