Parenting and family factors related to adolescents` personal agency beliefs, school achievement, and career outcomes

发展积极的个人能动性信念的重要性在于这样一种想法，即积极地相信自己的能力和环境的可持续性对个人具有保护和适应性。拥有积极的信念会激励个人设定目标，坚持不懈，并最终实现所需的目标，以便成功地适应他或她的生活环境。这些信念是我们研究项目的主要焦点。我们打算利用档案，纵向数据集跨越前和统一后的德国，以调查养育和家庭的变量，涉及到青少年的积极的个人机构的信念，反过来，这将使他们能够在学术上取得成功，后来在他们的职业培训和职业生涯的发展。以往的研究探讨了如何个人代理信念与青少年的结果，但是，有一个缺乏研究，侧重于发展的个人代理信念的前因，而且，这需要一个纵向的角度。

The importance of the development of positive personal agency beliefs lies in the idea that believing positively about one`s own capabilities and the supportiveness of the environment has protective and adaptive qualities for individuals. Having positive beliefs motivates the individual to set goals, to persevere, and to ultimately achieve what is needed in order to successfully adapt to his or her life circumstances. These kinds of beliefs are the main focus of our research program. We intend to utilize an archival, longitudinal data set spanning pre- and postunification Germany in order to investigate parenting and family variables that relate to the development of adolescents`positive personal agency beliefs which, in turn, will enable them to succeed in academics and, later in life in their occupational training and career. Previous research has examined how personal agency beliefs relate to adolescent outcomes, however, there is a lack of research that focuses on the antecedents to the development of personal agency beliefs, and, moreover, that takes a longitudinal perspective.
