| Abstract: | This paper responds to current discussions in career psychology that emphasise the importance of understanding how socio-economic
backgrounds and social-cognitive environments influence career development. Located in India, this study examines the interaction
between career beliefs and socio-economic status within a sample of Indian high school students. Significant socio-economic
status differences were observed, with the lower SES groups showing higher levels of negative career beliefs. The relevance
of these findings to career psychologists who work in multi cultural contexts is discussed within the framework of the Social
Cognitive Theories of Career Decision Making.
