Family versus Nonfamily Significant Others for the Career Decisions of Low-Income Youth.
Peterson, Gary W.; And Others
Family Relations, v35 n3 p417-24 Jul 1986
Results of a survey of White Appalachian and rural Black youth indicated that parents were the most frequent choice of these youth as significant others (SOs) for career decisions. Analyses for race differences in the SO choices of these young people failed to support "deficit" interpretations of the Black family. (Author/BL)
