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.'
