In addition, the relationship between gender and work related opinions was also investigated. Significant differences were obtained for both group and gender on the variables attitude toward training for new technology, belief in work, and job security.
The purpose of the study was to determine the reliability and validity of a British measure of attitude toward training for new technology, economic locus of control, self-efficacy, and self-estrangement for a Canadian adolescent population. In addition, the relationship between educational settings and beliefs and attitudes of 255 young Canadians soon to enter the work force was examined.
