Abstract (English): We propose a model of the anxiety adolescents experience about their educational and occupational future that includes three topics they worry about: (a) career failure, (b) parental disappointment, and (c) separation from loved ones to achieve one's career. A total of 16,663 15-year-old French participants filled out a new anxiety questionnaire and other self-reports. Factor analyses showed that all three topics belong to the same type of anxiety, and suggested that the adolescents' fear about their career is closely interwoven with parental attachment. This new kind of anxiety varied across gender and was correlated with school-adjustment and personality variables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Resumen: Proponemos un modelo de la ansiedad que los adolescentes experimentan acerca de su futuro educativo y ocupacional que incluye tres temas que les preocupan: (a) el fracaso profesional, (b) la decepción de los padres, y (c) la separación de los seres queridos para lograr su carrera. Un total de 16,663 participantes franceses de 15 años completaron un nuevo cuestionario de ansiedad y otros autoinformes. Los análisis de factores mostraron que los tres temas pertenecen al mismo tipo de ansiedad, y sugirieron que el miedo de los adolescentes acerca de su carrera está estrechamente entrelazado con el apego parental. Este nuevo tipo de ansiedad varió según el género y se correlacionó con variables de ajuste escolar y de personalidad. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (French): Résumé: Nous proposons un modèle de l'anxiété que les adolescents éprouvent à propos de leur avenir éducatif et professionnel qui inclut trois sujets qui les préoccupent : (a) l'échec de carrière, (b) la déception des parents, et (c) la séparation d'êtres chers pour réaliser sa carrière. Un total de 16,663 participants français de 15 ans ont rempli un nouveau questionnaire d'anxiété et d'autres auto-rapports. Les analyses factorielles ont montré que les trois sujets appartiennent au même type d'anxiété, et ont suggéré que la peur des adolescents à propos de leur carrière est étroitement liée à l'attachement parental. Ce nouveau type d'anxiété variait selon le sexe et était corrélé avec les variables d'ajustement scolaire et de personnalité. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (German): Zusammenfassung: Wir schlagen ein Modell der Angst vor, die Jugendliche in Bezug auf ihre Bildungs- und Berufszukunft empfinden, das drei Themen umfasst, die ihnen Sorgen bereiten: (a) berufliches Scheitern, (b) Enttäuschung der Eltern und (c) Trennung von geliebten Menschen, um die eigene Karriere zu verwirklichen. Insgesamt 16.663 15-jährige französische Teilnehmer füllten einen neuen Angstfragebogen und andere Selbstberichte aus. Faktorenanalysen zeigten, dass alle drei Themen zum selben Angsttyp gehören und deuteten darauf hin, dass die Angst der Jugendlichen um ihre Karriere eng mit der elterlichen Bindung verknüpft ist. Diese neue Art von Angst variierte je nach Geschlecht und korrelierte mit Schulanpassungs- und Persönlichkeitsvariablen. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
