Description
Vocational expectations represent the job or career that individuals believe they will likely attain in the future (Baly, 1989) and play an important role in organizing adolescents' behavior toward the career development process (Super, 1980), such as the development of the occupational self-concept. Additionally, occupational expectations are generally predictive of adolescents' occupational attainment as adults (Hotchkiss & Borow, 1996). From an emancipatory communitarian perspective to career development (Blustein, McWhirter, & Perry, 2005), the sociopolitical context of adolescents also influences their occupational expectations. For example, sociopolitical barriers such as racism (Hellenga, Aber, & Rhodes, 2002) and classism (Hotchkiss & Borow, 1996) have a negative impact upon the occupational expectations of adolescents of color. The influence of sociopolitical barriers is clearly illustrated by the observed differences between occupational aspirations and expectations among adolescents of color (Constantine, Erickson, Banks, & Timberlake, 1998). Aspirations represent "the statement of a desired career goal given ideal conditions," whereas expectations represent "an individual's consideration of reality factors which may affect the attainment of aspirations" (Baly, 1989, p. 255). Aspirations are one's occupational dreams, whereas expectations are real-world beliefs of what occupation one will attain. Sociopolitical inequities in access to resources, in addition to a range of sociopolitical barriers (Blustein et al., 2005), may explain this discrepancy between aspirations and expectations, which has been labeled the aspiration-expectation gap.
