GOTTFREDSON, LINDA S. BECKER, HENRY J. A Challenge to Vocational Psychology: How Important are Aspirations in Determining Male Career Development? Journal of Vocational Behavior 18,2 (April 1981): 121-137 Cohort(s): Young Men ID Number: 811 Publisher: Academic Press, Inc. Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study assesses the relative importance of previous aspirations and previous jobs in determining later jobs held. The results supported the hypotheses that: (1) men more often achieve congruence between their aspiration and their field of employment by changing aspirations to match the job rather than vice versa; and (2) aspirations for field of work generally are not as useful as actual job field for predicting the field of jobs held 1 to 5 years later. In addition, middle-class young men were no more able to attain their aspirations either for field of employment or for status level of occupation than were lower-class male youths.
