| Summary: | Vocational choice represents a fundamental task in late adolescence and, as such, it is directly involved with the multiple aspects of the self. The aim of this study was to describe the relationship between the variables of Self-Esteem and Self-Concept Clarity, as aspects of Self-Concept, and Exploration
and Commitment as components of Vocational Identity, in 182 adolescent students in the last two years of high school education. Those variables were assessed through the Career Development Inventory, the Vocational Identity Scale, the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, and the Self-concept Clarity Scale. Significant correlations were found between the four variables, and differences were observed according to gender and level of education. Using partial correlations to control the effect of the variables of the self-concept, it was found that only Self-Concept Clarity had a significant correlation with Commitment, and only
Self-Esteem had a significant correlation with Exploration. Partial correlations remained similar in the sample in terms of gender, but differences were observed in terms of level of education. |
