文章：Going to university VS Undergoing vocational training
Going to university is supposed to be a mind-broadening
assertion is presumably made in contradistinction to training for work straight
after school, which might not be so is it actually true? Jessika Golle
of the University of Tubingen, in Germany, thought she would try to find out.
Her result, however, is not quite what might be expected. As she reports in
Psychological Science this week,she found that those who have been to university
do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who
have spent their immediate post-school years in vocational training for
r, it was not the case that university broadened minds. Rather, work
seemed to narrow them.
Dr Golle came to this conclusion after she and a team of colleagues studied
the early careers of 2,095 German the period under
investigation (the system was modified slightly this year), Germany had three
tracks in its schools:a low one for pupils who would most probably leave school
early and enter vocational training;a high one for those almost certain to enter
university; and an intermediate one, from which there was a choice between the
academic and vocational routes.
The team used two standardised tests to assess their was of
personality traits (openness, neuroticism, conscientiousness, agreeableness and
extroversion).The other was of attitudes (realistic, investigative, artistic, social,
enterprising and conventional).They administered both tests twice—once towards
the end of each volunteer's time at school, and then again six years the
original group, 382 were on the intermediate track, and it was on these that the
researchers focused. University beckoned for 212 of remaining 170
opted for vocational training and a job.
When it came to the second round of tests, Dr Golle found that the
personalities of those who had gone to university had changed not a statistically
detectable who had undergone vocational training and then got jobs
were not that much changed in personality, either—except in one crucial
had become more sounds like a good thing,
certainly compared with the common public image of undergraduates as a bunch
of pampered changes in attitude that the researchers recorded were
more worrying. In the university group, again, none were detectable.
But those who had chosen the vocational route showed marked drops in
interest in tasks that are investigative and enterprising in that might
restrict their choice of investigative and enterprising jobs, such as
scientific research, are, indeed off limits to the many, particularly in
Germany, with its tradition of vocational training, are researchers mention,
for example, computer programmers, finance-sector workers, estate agents and
entrepreneurs as careers requiring these attributes.
