2022, Journal of Vocational BehaviorCitation Excerpt :That is, Asian Americans may strive to fulfill parental expectations (or what we refer to from here on as expectation fulfillment) and choose majors based on their parents' preferences rather than their personal interests (Kodama & Huymh, 2017; Roysicar et al., 2010). Lastly, researchers argue that occupational stereotypes, which portray Asian Americans as more competent in math and sciences and less competent in humanities and social sciences (Chen & Fouad, 2013; Leung et al., 1994; Leong & Serafica, 1995), may also serve as both external and internal barriers for Asian Americans to explore non-stereotypical careers (Chen & Fouad, 2013; Leong & Hayes, 1990; Tang et al., 1999). Those who internalize these occupational stereotypes (or endorse stereotype characterization of one's cultural group; Shen et al., 2011) may develop high self-efficacy in stereotypical majors and low self-efficacy in non-stereotypical majors, and thereby limit their major choices (Kantamneni et al., 2018).
