Abstract
The literature concerning achievement motivation suggests a relationship between youths' awareness of similar trait occupational role models and their mobility aspirations and expectations. The research study presented here was conducted to test the hypothesis that the amount of knowledge black youths have of black achievers is positively related to their mobility attitudes, and their occupational and educational aspirations and expectations. The data indicate that the hypothesized relationships are at best weak. However, the fact that the strong relationships generally cited as existing between parents' education and occupation and their children's mobility attitudes were also not found indicates a need for further research regarding the variables that could possibly influence black mobility aspirations and expectations.
