Humanistic and Positive Psychology Factors as Predictors of Mexican American Adolescents’ Vocational Outcome Expectations

Abstract

One-hundred thirty-one Mexican American adolescents provided perceptions of presence of meaning in life, search for meaning in life, hope, family importance, subjective happiness, and vocational outcome expectations. Perceptions of meaning in life and family importance were significant predictors of vocational outcome expectations. A discussion regarding the importance of these findings is provided, and implications for counselors are presented.
