Abstract

We investigated environmental supports, an understudied aspect of Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT), with rural Appalachian youth, an understudied population. We developed a new measure of proximal influences that bolster the pursuit of postsecondary education, the Assessment of Postsecondary Supports (APSS). Across 3 studies, we develop and validate the new measure, finding strong internal consistency and construct validity. Moreover, scores on the APSS were positively correlated with college-going self-efficacy (CGSE) and college outcome expectations (COE), explaining more unique variance than a measure of perceived educational barriers.

中学后支持评估：对研究不足的 SCCT 结构进行新的测量

环境支持是社会认知职业理论（Social Cognitive Career Theory，SCCT）中未被充分研究的一个方面，我们以阿巴拉契亚农村青年这一未被充分研究的人群为对象，对环境支持进行了调查。我们开发了一种新的测量方法，即中学后支持评估法（APSS），用于测量促进中学后教育的近端影响因素。通过 3 项研究，我们开发并验证了新的测量方法，发现其具有很强的内部一致性和构建有效性。此外，APSS的得分与大学升学自我效能感（CGSE）和大学结果期望（COE）呈正相关，比感知教育障碍的测量方法能解释更多的独特变异。
