Abstract
The current study tests a model of academic satisfaction in engineering based on Lent, Brown, and Hackett’s (1994, 2000) social cognitive career theory among a sample of 527 engineering majors attending a Hispanic serving institution. The findings indicated that (a) an alternative bidirectional model fit the data for the full sample;(b) all of the hypothesized relations were significant for the full sample, except the path from engineering interests to goals;(c) social cognitive career theory predictors accounted for a significant amount of variance in engineering goals (26.6%) and academic satisfaction (45.1%); and (d) the model parameters did not vary across men and women or across Latino/a and White engineering undergraduate students. Implications for research and practice are discussed in relation to persistence in engineering among women and Latinos/as.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
