Psychology Of Working

With the recent evolution of the labor market, emerging adults with no diploma are particularly exposed to unsatisfying jobs and barriers to access decent work. The aim of the research was to identify their representations of work, based on the psychology of emerging adulthood and the psychology of working theory. Differences related to each country’s level of development and to the work situations met by the participants were expected. Ten emerging adults aged 20–25 were interviewed in seven countries ( N = 70). Data were processed using a thematic content analysis. The results stress that these emerging adults associate “decent work” with two specific qualities: the extent to which work allows survival needs to be met and the experience of positive social relationships in the workplace. This article discusses the similarities and differences in their representations of work and their role on identity development.

Context Dependent

Through a qualitative research design, the author explored how eight talented young creative writers related to their craft. The construct, “relationship with writing,” emerged as the study’s overarching theme; this theme includes students’ influences, goals, values, identity, and emotions as these relate to writing. The findings indicated identity development and the expression of an authentic self were central to students’ relationships with writing. Multiple positive influences led students to view writing as a means to understand and express their identities. Students valued academic writing, but felt creative writing was more congruent with their emotions, goals, and values. Overall, students’ relationships with writing can be described as positive, personal, and context dependent.

This meta-ethnography examines qualitative research done on or with Native American youth. In an effort to counter the colonized narratives that are prevalent in today’s system, this chapter includes studies that gave way to Native youth voice and agency. This research centers Native youth’s voices to help us understand Native youth identity, their experiences in and out of school, and ways we can support them. The five articles that are a part of this meta-ethnography took very different views on the development of Native American youth identity. However, three key aspects emerged as essential to the identity development of Native youth: identity: language, culture and adult-youth relationships.
