Six areas are examined: 1) parental influence; 2) teacher influence; 3) peer influence; 4) ethnic and gender expectations; 5) academic self-efficacy; and 6) the role of negative social events. A questionnaire based on the Career Interest Inventory (Fisher & Stafford, 1999) was administered to 150 undergraduate students. Three factors were significant for this population: 1) positive influence in the form of support from parents, teachers, peers, and students' academic experiences and self-efficacy; 2) negative social events in the context of having friends in trouble with the law, addictions, teen pregnancy, indifference to schooling, dropping out of high school, and deaths of friends; and 3) ethnic and gender expectations emanating from parents and teachers. Based on these findings, directions for further research, and implications for counselors and educators, are outlined. en_US Career development Vocational guidance Indigenous peoples -- Vocational guidance Indigenous college students -- Vocational guidance Dissertations, Academic An examination of selected factors influencing the career decisions of Aboriginal university students Thesis 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 URL http://localhost:4000/bitstreams/ccb91ac6-6582-471d-9026-9f8c5fd54b06/download File MD5 ff64921b6c924e92445a3965bff5e7ff 1811696 application/pdf MR17400.pdf URL http://localhost:4000/bitstreams/ba308642-b2fb-4edb-a871-024debc80d20/download File MD5 ba0bfb0665dc683600a3cb8fa3b5ccf7 100960 text/plain MR17400.pdf.txt
