abstract: 'Planning and preparing for life after high school is a central
developmental task of American adolescents, and may be even more
critical for low-income youth who are less likely to attend a four year
college. This study investigates factors that led to the effects of the
New Hope Project, a work-based, anti-poverty program directed at parents
on youths'' career-related thoughts and planning. The New Hope project
was implemented in Milwaukee, WI, during the mid-1990s. 745 families
participated (52 \% male children; 56 \% African American; 30 \% Latino,
and 15 \% White non-Hispanic) and half were randomly selected to receive
New Hope benefits, which included earnings supplements, job search
assistance, and child and health care subsidies for 3 years.
Importantly, effects on youths'' future orientation were found 8 years
after the program began (5 years after benefits ended). The present
study investigates what factors sustained these positive impacts over
time. Results indicate that parental perceptions of reading performance
mediate the effects of New Hope on youths'' cynicism about work.
Additionally, parental perceptions of reading performance and youths''
educational expectations mediate the effects of New Hope on boys''
pessimism about future employment. These findings highlight the
importance of youths'' educational development to their career-related
thoughts and planning.'
