Effects of Family Business Membership and Psychological Separation on the Career Development of Late Adolescents
研究比较了家族企业与非家族企业子女在心理过度卷入、职业选择和发展上的差异，发现家族企业成员并非过度卷入，但对子女职业发展有影响。
Family businesses are reported to consist of overinvolved family relationships. Overinvolvement often leads to conflict when late adolescents attempt to develop their own identity, separate from the home, and choose an occupation. This study examines differences between family-and non-family-business offspring in relation to psychological overinvolvement, and career choice and development. Analyses of assessments completed by 248 undergraduate college students does not support the belief that family business members are overinvolved with each other, but does suggest implications for the career development of family business offspring.
