“…Gloria and Hird () reported Cronbach's alphas of .95 and .97, respectively, for CDSE among 589 White and 98 undergraduate students of color. Gushue and Whitson () reported an alpha coefficient of .86 for CDSE in a sample of ninth‐grade Latinas (46.2%) and Black girls (51.9%). Reliability analysis for the present study revealed an alpha of .95 for the total CDSES‐SF scale.…”

Path analysis was used to explore the tenets of social cognitive career theory with a sample of 357 Latina/o college students. A modified path model revealed that career decision self-efficacy (CDSE) mediated the influence of ethnic identity and acculturation level on the perception of career barriers. The findings point to the role of ethnic identity in augmenting Latina/o college students' CDSE and increasing awareness about career barriers. Implications for theory, research, and practice are discussed.

“…Empirical studies have indicated that SCCT is useful in exploring the career paths of people of color (Flores & O'Brien, ; Gushue, ; Gushue & Whitson, ; Navarro, Flores, & Worthington, ). SCCT is based on Bandura's () social‐cognitive theory in which cognitive processes and social context are emphasized to explain learning and behavior.…”

“…Germeijs and Verschueren (2009) also noted the importance of mothers' support in adolescents' career development, finding that a secure relationship with the mother also predicted more in-depth career exploration. Similarly, Gushue and Whitson (2006) linked parental support to higher career decision self-efficacy and outcome beliefs in adolescents, suggesting that positive support helps them overcome perceived barriers.…”

The fact that 1st-generation college students have lower retention rates than their peers and confront barriers hindering college success is well known. However, less information exists about the effect that 1st-generation college status has after college completion. In this qualitative study, the career development experiences of adults from families without college education were examined. Three themes were identified: the role of the father, expectations about career, and expectations about college. Implications for college counselors are provided.

PurposeThis study examines the association between gender role attitudes and risky sexual behavior among young women. Previous studies have posed seemingly contradictory arguments: that either traditional attitudes or egalitarian attitudes are associated with riskier behavior. MethodsData are based on the children of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, representing 520 sexually active 18-19-year-old women. Propensity radius matching was used to assess differences in rates of multiple sexual partners and sex outside of a committed relationship. ResultsRelative to moderate gender role attitudes, both egalitarian gender role attitudes and traditional gender role attitudes are associated with higher rates of risky sexual behavior. Both women with egalitarian role attitudes and those with traditional role attitudes have about a 10% higher prevalence of risky behavior compared to women with more moderate gender role attitudes. ConclusionExisting, seemingly contradictory contentions about the relationship between gender role attitudes and risky sexual behavior may be more coherent than they seem. By shifting focus from risk to protection, the results suggest that moderate gender role attitudes are protective against risky sexual behavior. Future studies should investigate the causal mechanisms and intervention implications of this protective relationship. Keywords: Gender role; Premarital sex behavior; Women's role 2 Everything's Better in Moderation: Young Women's Gender Role Attitudes and Risky Sexual BehaviorGender roles and gender role attitudes continue to greatly influence American adolescents' everyday experiences, especially as they relate to social outcomes that determine power within relationships (such as women's economic standing and exposure to violence). Girls' career choice goals [1] and women's labor market experience [2] and monetary earnings [3] are heavily shaped by their gender role attitudes. In addition, gender role attitudes have some bearing on women's exposure to violence. Traditional gender role attitudes among men have been found to underlie rape scripts [4], and traditional beliefs among women are associated with tolerant perceptions of men's violence toward women [5].Despite this connection to power dynamics within relationships, the influence of young women's gender role attitudes on risky sexual behavior in the United States remains unclear. [16]. There is a paucity of empirical research testing these ideas -individually or in conjunction -among women in the United States. Therefore, this article examines the relationship between gender role attitudes and risky sexual behavior -specifically, rates of casual sex and multiple sex partners -in a national sample of at-risk young women. The Risk of Traditional Gender AttitudesScholars suggest that a belief in traditional feminine roles can lead to risky sexual behavior in two primary ways: (1) through hyperfemininity and (2) by discouraging women from successfully negotiating sexual encounters. Murnen and Byrne [17] outline th...
