Abstract
During adolescence, individuals develop societal views and foster aspirations for future careers. This study investigated a sample of Latinx and White youth (N = 151) in rural Midwestern meatpacking communities in the USA to identify how their work hope is associated with system justification beliefs (beliefs in a just America, class inequality, and educational meritocracy). The study also explored how race moderates the relationship between work hope and system justification beliefs. Results revealed that work hope is associated with their societal views in both Latinx and White youth; however, the direction and the degree of the relationships differ between Latinx and White youth. Implications for youth career development and future research are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
