AbstractThis study investigated types of career choice in high school students and examined the effects of career paths on time perspective development. The participants were 4,756 third grade students from nine public high schools in Tokyo. The high school questionnaire survey was conducted throughout autumn of 2008, 2009, and 2010. One year later, 962 graduates participated in the follow-up questionnaire survey by post. Distinguishing gender difference among career paths was found. Girls tend to choose significantly shorter learning careers (p < .01), for example junior college or vocational school in comparison to boys. Career indecision, i.e. students who could not set a concrete future career in high school, had significantly more negative time perspective than other groups (p < .05), which was caused by a deficiency of their basic cognitive ability. Longitudinal data showed different patterns of fluctuation in time perspective between “school to school transition” and “school to work transition”. It is suggested that the “school to work transition” tends to be more critical for adolescents and has negative effects on time perspective. These results suggest that the goal content in careers may promote or inhibit the formation of time perspectives during the graduation transition.

Due to the fact that extraverted and introverted personalities behave and react rather differently, especially in the context of foreign language learning, teachers and learners often believe that these two personality types have different learning habits and require different learning environments. This is often reflected in different choices of language learning strategies that these two personality types make, which has already been proven in several research studies. However, these studies did not investigate the selection of language learning strategies in connection to extraversion/introversion among high school students, so this paper aims to determine any possible links for this age group. In order to do that the research relies on the EPQR-S to determine the students' personality type and Strategy Inventory for Language Learning to determine the participants' strategy preference. The participants who took part in this research were sixty first- and second-grade students aged 15 to 17 from a medical high school in Novi Sad. The results from this research were analyzed quantitatively and, based on the results, it can be concluded that there are differences in strategy selection. Extraverts use compensation strategies most frequently, while affective strategies are reported to be the least frequently used. Introverts, on the other hand, report the highest use for metacognitive strategies and the lowest for affective strategies, similar to extraverts.

The purpose of this study was to explore personality type differences among high school band, string orchestra, and choir students according to ensemble membership. Participants ( N = 355) were high school students who had participated in their school’s band, orchestra, or choir for 1 year or more. The author administered the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to determine the personality type for each participant. Personality types were compared among the three ensembles as well as with published MBTI high school norms. Results indicated that personality type differences existed among the ensembles and that there were significant differences in the comparisons with MBTI norms. A significant personality type difference was found between orchestra and choir students along the Extraversion-Introversion dichotomy, indicating that choir students were more likely to be Extraverted when compared to orchestra students. There were no significant differences among the ensembles on the Sensing-Intuition, Thinking-Feeling, or Judging-Perceiving scales. Compared to high school norms, the students in each ensemble were significantly more likely to be Intuitive and Feeling. The band students were significantly more likely to be Perceiving, and the choir students were significantly more likely to be Extraverted.

The relevance of the study of the problem of professional self-determination of high school students and features of the choice of profession by modern graduates is substantiated. The degree of expression of pedagogical inclinations in the structure of professional personality types and types of professional activity of graduates as a result of research of high school students is established. Methods were used: a questionnaire of professional inclinations (L. Yovaishi’s method in G. V. Rezapkina’s modification), the method “Determination of professional personality type” (J. V. Rezapkina’s method). Holland in the modification Of G. V. Resorcinol), methods - methods “Matrix choice of profession” G. V. Resorcinol. It was found that the most common professional personality type among high school students with pedagogical inclinations is the social type. Respondents with a tendency to pedagogical activity often have a harmonious structure of professional choice, namely, a high indicator in which all three components of professional choice (inclinations, interests, type) are clearly expressed.
