Pathways from caring and engaging adults to youth vocational identity: the mediational roles of career search self-efficacy and goal capacity
This study examines the role played by access to caring and engaging adults, career search self-efficacy (CSSE), and goal capacity in the development of youth vocational identity. The study used a bootstrapping approach to analyze data, collected from a survey of 1,579 youths enrolled in 14 U.S. high schools, to test a hypothesized serial multiple mediation model. Results indicate both direct and multiple indirect pathways from adults influences to the youth vocational identity. Two specific pathways of influence were found through CSSE and goal capacity respectively. Additionally, a serial multiple mediation effect was found whereby CSSE and goal capacity collectively mediated the relationship. This indicates that greater access to caring and engaging adults contributes to higher CSSE, which accounts for a higher level of goal capacity, and eventually leads to the better vocational identity in youth. These findings establish notable implications for practices that are discussed in closing.First author draf
Order continuous extensions of positive compact operators on Banach lattices
Let and be Banach lattices. Let be a vector sublattice of and
be an order continuous positive compact (resp. weakly
compact) operators. We show that if is an ideal or an order dense
sublattice of , then has a norm preserving compact (resp. weakly
compact) positive extension to which is likewise order continuous on .
In particular, we prove that every compact positive orthomorphism on an order
dense sublattice of extends uniquely to a compact positive orthomorphism on
