Charting career aspirations : a latent class mixture model of aspiration trajectories in childhood and adolescence
2020
Overview
Young people often are asked what they want to be when they grow up. How do their aspirations change as students move through childhood and adolescence? To investigate the formation of career aspirations, we analysed 6308
questionnaires from 4213 students aged 8 to 18 years arranged in an accelerated longitudinal design. Using a person-centred analytic approach, a latent class mixture model identified four discrete change trajectories in the prestige
levels of career aspirations over ten schooling years. In line with Gottfredson's theory, significant factors included student gender, education aspirations, prior achievement, knowledge of educational pathways to occupations, and the
sex composition of occupations. High aspiring students with low education aspirations and poor achievement had more volatile trajectories than other students, regardless of socioeconomic status. The results demonstrate complexity in the
formation of aspirations and challenge conventional notions about the 'types' of students who have 'high' and 'low' aspirations. [Author abstract]
