{"product_id":"female-life-careers-a-pattern-approach-hardback","title":"Female Life Careers: A Pattern Approach - Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1991, this volume represents the first systematic attempt to apply a pattern approach to a comprehensive longitudinal investigation. It focuses on individual differences in female career development, from early adolescence through young adulthood. Rather than constructing a general model of career development, the authors use the interplay between theory and observation to build networks of patterns demonstrating the long-term consequences for adult women's career involvement, their educational levels, their family commitments, and their social networks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout their investigation the authors interpret individuals' patterns as characterizing processes that underlie women's differential development. They illustrate that a research strategy oriented toward pattern analysis and related methodology reveals information that is generally obscured in more traditional variable-oriented designs. They also argue that a pattern approach is particularly suited to the tenets of modern interactionism, which provides the theoretical foundation of the study.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45546847011054,"sku":"9781032310213","price":176.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/female-life-careers-a-pattern-approach-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
