Separation/Attachment Theory and Career Decidedness and Commitment: Effects of Parental Divorce.

Scott, Donna J.; Church, A. Timothy

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v58 n3 p328-47 Jun 2001

A study of 287 undergraduates (149 from intact homes) showed that those from intact families displayed more career decidedness and financial connectedness to parents. Students with divorced parents had higher financial press and greater independence from fathers. Partial or limited support for separation/attachment theory was found. (Contains 47 references.) (SK)
