Resumo: | Theories of human development emphasize the importance of childhood experiences in the formation of personality. It is believed that the role assumed by the child within the family has implications for his later adult life. Adler proposed that the order of birth significantly influences vocational behavior and recent research has provided support for this idea. The presentstudy has the objective of investigating differences in vocational interests among the following categories, by order of birth: only children, firstborn, middle children and lastborn. The subjects comprised 435 college students of both sexes with ages ranging from 17 to 56 years (Mean=26.9). The subjects answered measures of vocational interests and a brief demographicquestionnaire to define the order of birth category. The scores for their interests were compared by means of variance analysis. The results revealed that only children showed greater interest in scientific investigation than middle children and less entrepreneurial interest than the firstborn; middle children displayed greater social interest than only children and firstborn. The results suggest that individuals develop distinct vocational processes depending on the order of birth, and therefore the use of order of birth information is recommended for vocational counseling. |

Acredita-se que o papel assumido pela criança na família tem implicações no comportamento adulto posterior. Adler propôs que a ordem de nascimento tem influência significativa no comportamento vocacional, e pesquisas recentes têm apoiado esta idéia. Este estudo teve por objetivo investigar diferenças de interesses vocacionais entre as seguintes categorias de ordem de nascimento: filhos únicos, primogênitos, 'do meio' e caçulas. Participaram 435 estudantes universitários de ambos os sexos, com idades entre 17 e 56 anos (Média=26,9). Os sujeitos responderam a uma medida de interesses vocacionais e a um questionário demográfico para definição da categoria de ordem de nascimento. Os escores de interesses foram comparados por análises de variância. Os resultados revelaram que filhos únicos têm maior interesse em investigação científica do que filhos 'do meio', e menor interesse empreendedor do que primogênitos. Os filhos 'do meio' revelaram interesse social mais elevado do que filhos únicos e primogênitos. Concluiu-se que filhos únicos, primogênitos, 'do meio' e caçulas desenvolvem processos vocacionais distintos, e recomenda-se o uso de informações sobre ordem de nascimento no aconselhamento vocacional.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2008-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigosapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/6988Psychological Studies; Vol. 25 No. 2 (2008): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; Vol. 25 Núm. 2 (2008): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; v. 25 n. 2 (2008): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)1982-0275reponame:Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/6988/4563Copyright (c) 2022 Mauro de Oliveira MAGALHÃEShttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMAGALHÃES, Mauro de Oliveira 2024-04-24T19:26:35Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/6988Revistahttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudosPRIhttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudos/oaisbi.ne_estpsi@puc-campinas.edu.br||estudosdepsicologia@puc-campinas.edu.br||psychologicalstudies@puc-campinas.edu.br1982-02750103-166Xopendoar:2024-04-24T19:26:35Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false |
