"Traversing Two Worlds": Influences upon Career Perspectives of Mexican-American Music Education Majors
Weimer, Amy A.; Davis, Virginia Wayman; Salinas, Daniel
Texas Music Education Research, p14-29 2019
The present study examines the career pathways of Mexican-American music majors. Participants included 42 (17 female, 25 male) music majors enrolled at a Hispanic-Serving Institution in South Texas. The study focused on identifying relations among students' levels of acculturation and career goals. Students' cultural behavior, career self-efficacy, extrinsic and intrinsic work values, motivation, and social bonding were measured via standardized questionnaires. Results indicate that a greater degree of adhering to both traditional and American culture predict higher career outcomes, including culture and gender interactions.
