Scenarios of future careers were written by 454 senior high school students in a southeastern high school. Random samples of 40 black females, 40 black males, 40 white males, and 40 white females were scored for eight characteristics and means were compared through analysis of variance. Only one sex difference was found, girls rated higher than boys on perception of self as changed in the future. The blacks projected greater career satisfaction for the future but the whites wrote longer scenarios and projected greater perceptions of changes in the world/mankind, greater awareness of future problems, more proposals of solutions to future problems, and stronger perceptions of self as a creative problem solver. There were no differences in commitments to making a better world or solving future problems.
一所东南部高中的454名高中生撰写了关于未来职业的设想。从其中随机抽取40名黑人女性、40名黑人男性、40名白人男性和40名白人女性,对他们设想中的八个特征进行评分,并通过方差分析比较均值。仅发现了一个性别差异,即女孩在对未来自我改变的认知上得分高于男孩。黑人预计未来的职业满意度更高,但白人撰写的设想篇幅更长,预计对世界/人类变化的认知更强,对未来问题的意识更强,对未来问题解决方案的提议更多,以及对自我作为创造性问题解决者的认知更强。在为创造更美好的世界或解决未来问题而做出的承诺方面没有差异。
