Abstract
This study examines the orientations of adolescent girls towards career and marriage. One hundred and ninety-four girls from 32 schools were tested at age 14 and again at age 17, using a battery of standard tests and inventories. The relative influence of three clusters of independent variables (initial status, age 14; background status, age 17; and home and school value orientations) were investigated by means of commonality analysis. The results of the study suggested that certain aspiration and expectation factors were more important determinants of marriage vs career orientation than were self-ability or self-concept measures.
