I. Purpose of the Study

The goal of this study is to investigate and comprehend the ways in which parents
unintentionally influence their children's career decisions and the effects that these influences
have on the children's future success and job happiness.

Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions:

(1) What is the demographic profile of the participants in terms of: 1.1 Gender; 1.2 Age; and 1.3
Strand
(2) What are the different types of parental expectations observed among students, and how do
these expectations vary across demographic factors such as socio-economic status, cultural
background, and family structure?
(3) How do the expectations of parents, regarding academic performance and career choices,
influence the self-perception and motivation of senior high school students at Polanco National
High School?
(4) How do students navigate and manage the tension between their own interests, aspirations,
and the expectations of their parents while making career choices during their high school years?
(5) In what ways do parental expectations affect the study habits, extracurricular activities, and
overall well-being of senior high school students at Polanco National High School?
(6) How do the perceptions of parents, students, teachers, and administrators on the impact of
parental expectations on career choices differ, and what are the underlying reasons for these
discrepancies?
(7) What are the potential consequences of high parental expectations on the mental health and
emotional well-being of senior high school students, and how can these effects be mitigated?
(8) How do the career choices of senior high school students at Polanco National High School
align with the societal needs and the country's development goals, and to what extent do parental
expectations contribute to this alignment or misalignment?
