本研究旨在探讨城市贫困和工薪阶层青少年如何看待工作以及他们从家庭中获得的与工作相关的信息。本研究采用探索性和质性研究方法，收集数据以了解九年级城市学生对工作的看法。虽然数据表明，城市青年的工作概念是复杂多样的，但城市青年对工作的看法的概念阵列表明，工作通常并不代表自我概念表达的一种手段，也不代表一个人对工作世界的兴趣的表达。具体而言，城市青年倾向于根据外部成果（例如，钱），这也是他们从家人那里收到的关于工作的信息中的一个共同主题。
This study sought to examine how poor and working-class urban adolescents conceive of work as well as the work-related messages they receive from their families. Data were collected to understand how 9th-grade urban students perceive work using an exploratory and qualitative research methodology. Although the data suggested that urban youths' conceptions of work were complex and varied, the conceptual array of urban youths' perceptions of work suggested that work does not generally represent a means of self-concept expression or the expression of one's interest in the world of work. Specifically, urban youth tended to define work in terms of external outcomes (e.g., money), which was also a common theme among the messages they received about work from their families.
