INDIVIDUALISM-COLLECTIVISM AND THE VOCATIONAL BEHAVIOR OF MAJORITY CULTURE COLLEGE-STUDENTS

This study examined whether variation on the cultural constructs of in dividualism-collectivism in a sample of predominantly majority culture (i.e., Anglo American) college students accounts for significant amou nts of variance in their occupational choices, career plans, and work values. Participants (135 women, 55 men) responded to the ''I am'' sen tence completion method (Kuhn & McPartland, 1954), the Occupational Pl ans Questionnaire (Hershenson, 1967), and the Work Values Inventory (S uper, 1970). Overall, results indicated no significant relationships b etween level of collectivism and the career-related variables.
