为高中毕业后的生活做好规划和准备是美国青少年的一项核心发展任务，对于那些不太可能上四年制大学的低收入青年来说，这可能更为关键。本研究旨在探讨“新希望工程”对青少年就业观念与规划的影响。新希望项目于20世纪90年代中期在威斯康星州的密尔沃基实施。745个家庭参与了调查（52%的男孩，56%的非洲裔美国人，30%的拉丁裔，15%的白色非西班牙裔），其中一半被随机选择接受新希望福利，包括收入补贴，求职援助，以及三年的儿童和医疗保健补贴。重要的是，在项目开始八年后（福利结束五年后），发现了对年轻人未来取向的影响。本研究调查了哪些因素随着时间的推移持续这些积极的影响。结果表明，父母对阅读表现的看法在《新希望》对青少年工作玩世不恭的影响中起中介作用。此外，父母对阅读表现的看法和青少年的教育期望对《新希望》对男孩未来就业悲观情绪的影响起中介作用。这些研究结果凸显了青年人的教育发展对他们与职业有关的想法和规划的重要性。
Planning and preparing for life after high school is a central developmental task of American adolescents, and may be even more critical for low-income youth who are less likely to attend a four year college. This study investigates factors that led to the effects of the New Hope Project, a work-based, anti-poverty program directed at parents on youths’ career-related thoughts and planning. The New Hope project was implemented in Milwaukee, WI, during the mid-1990s. 745 families participated (52% male children; 56% African American; 30% Latino, and 15% White non-Hispanic) and half were randomly selected to receive New Hope benefits, which included earnings supplements, job search assistance, and child and health care subsidies for three years. Importantly, effects on youths’ future orientation were found eight years after the program began (five years after benefits ended). The present study investigates what factors sustained these positive impacts over time. Results indicate that parental perceptions of reading performance mediate the effects of New Hope on youths’ cynicism about work. Additionally, parental perceptions of reading performance and youths’ educational expectations mediate the effects of New Hope on boys’ pessimism about future employment. These findings highlight the importance of youths’ educational development to their career-related thoughts and planning.
