چکیده
A major gap in Holland's theory of vocational identity has been specification of the developn~ental antecedents of the six personality typea. The present paper extends Geoffrey Kelso's work on the developmental antecedents of Holland's types by examining the relationship between membership in adolescent social crowds and vocational identity in early adulthood. In four samples (total N = 274), membership in five junior high school crowds-Motorheads, Brains, Freaks, Politicos, and Conformists-was found to be associated with higher scores on the Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Enterprising, and Conventional scales, respectively, of Holland's Self-Directed Search and Vocational Preference Inventory in early adulthood. The relative impact of temperament, family, and peer variables on the development of vocational identity is discussed. o 1987 Acadernic Preaa. Inc.
