Abstract
Considering the influence of the family of origin on the educational and career decisions, the present study aimed to present descriptive statistics of a scale that evaluates the influence of family in career decisions in relation to familiar structural and processual factors. The sample was composed of 242 university students, 181 women (74.8%), between 21 and 45 years old (M = 25.17; SD = 5.07) from a university in southern Brazil. The results indicate differences in the means in some family structural factors, such as socioeconomic status. These results should be evaluated in later studies with inferential statistical tests.
