Description
The literature concerning achievement motivation suggests a relationship
between youths' awareness of similar trait occupational role models and
their mobility aspirations and expectations. The research study presented
here was conducted to test the hypothesis that the amount of knowledge
black youths have of black achievers is positively related to their
mobility attitudes, and their occupational and educational aspirations
and expectations. The data indicate that the hypothesized relationships
are at best weak. However, the fact that the strong relationships
generally cited as existing between parents' education and occupation
and their children's mobility attitudes were also not found indicates a
need for further research regarding the variables that could possibly
influence black mobility aspirations and expectations.
