Career commitment, aspirations, and expectations of Black college students

The purpose of this study was to identify predictors of career motivation among Black college students. Career motivation variables included career commitment and the socioeconomic level and race-traditionality of career aspirations and expectations. Three sets of predictors were examined: (a) demographic variables (sex, parents' education, socioeconomic level and race-traditionality of parents' occupations, family income, community size, marital status, and parenting status); (b) locus of control, racial identity attitudes, and perceived occupational opportunity; and (c) eight noncognitive variables.
