摘要对亚裔美国人职业发展的研究发现，亚裔美国人的职业兴趣主要集中在研究性和现实性领域，他们可能从事的职业范围有限。本研究调查了可能影响亚裔美国人职业选择的因素，并测试了伦特等人。的模型，以187名大学生为研究对象，探讨预测变量与结果变量（职业选择）之间的关系。调查的变量是文化适应水平，家庭SES，家庭参与，职业兴趣和职业自我效能感。假设职业选择受到预测变量的影响，文化适应程度较低的个体倾向于选择更典型的职业（即，现实和调查性职业），家庭背景会影响他们的选择，而这种兴趣可能不一定与他们的职业选择有关。研究结果支持路径模型对亚裔美国人职业选择影响因素的解释。亚裔美国人在选择职业时受到文化适应、家庭背景和自我效能的影响。与亚裔美国人的工作的影响进行了讨论。
Abstract Research on Asian American career development has found that Asian Americans' occupational interests are typically predominant in the Investigative and Realistic areas and that they may pursue a limited range of occupations. This study investigates factors that might influence Asian Americans' career choices and tests Lent et al.'s model to investigate the relationships among the predicting variables and the outcome variable (career choice) for 187 college students. Variables investigated are level of acculturation, family SES, family involvement, occupational interests, and career self-efficacy. It was hypothesized that career choices are influenced by the predicting variables in such a way that lower acculturated individuals tend to choose more typical occupations (i.e., Realistic and Investigative occupations), that family background is influential on their choices, and that interest may not necessarily be related to their occupational choices. The results generally support the path model in explaining the factors influencing Asian American career choices. Asian Americans are influenced by acculturation, family background, and self-efficacy in choosing occupations. Implications are discussed for working with the Asian American population.
