Family Process Variables

Based on a developmental contextual perspective advocated by Vondracek, Lerner, and Schulenberg, this article provides a comprehensive review of the research published since 1980related to family of origin influences on career developmentandoccupational choice. Because individuals are most likely to seek assistance with career decisions from family members, it is important that counseling psychologists understand how families can have a positive influence and facilitate career development. Influential family contextual factors are identified within four developmentallevels (i.e., children, adolescents, college students/young adults, and adults). Across the lifespan, both family structure variables (e.g., parents’ occupations) and family process variables (e.g., warmth, support, attachment, autonomy) were found to influence a host of career constructs; however, the process by which families influence career development is complex and is affected by many contextual factors such as race, gender, and age. Based on this comprehensivereview, implicationsfor counselingresearch andpracticeare discussed.

Family Process Variables

The primary purpose of this study was to produce a new computer-based research paradigm designed to test family process variables. Twenty-nine males representing twenty-nine homes each with a microcomputer and modem served as subjects across a two-month period. A microcomputer/mainframe system was developed and integrated with a conceptual model used to test family decision-making variables. Nine subtests used in the conceptual model served as process variables in this study. Attitude questions concerning gender role preferences, religious commitment, empathy toward spouse, marital commitment, perception of spousal conflicts, degree of individualism, and self-esteem were presented and recorded via university mainframe from home computers. Data were analyzed across two test battery replication (two months). Data showed that the integration of an existing family process conceputal model and the microcomputer/mainframe system could be used as a new research paradigm, that the two months testing provided strong support for paradigm efficiency, and that the paradigm proved to be highly reliable and valid.

Family Process Variables

This study examines the early development of low birthweight infants and its relationship to five categories of medical and environmental variables: (1) health; (2) family status; (3) family context; (4) family process; and (5) parenting. Results showed that scores on the Bayley Mental Development Index. (MDI) at 18 months were related to all five categories of variables. However, most correlations were only moderate in strength (0.3 to 0.5) and four of the. five categories could be represented by only a single variable within the category. Multiple regression analyses indicated that family context and family process variables were not as highly related to MDI as family status, medical problems, and parenting were. The most efficient prediction of MDI was obtained using a combination of two HOME subscales, variety of stimulation and organisation of the environment, plus the 5-minute APGAR (R = 0.59).
