Primary Outcomes (End Points)
|
Before
1) Students track aspiration (continue school vs. vocational training vs. start working without further education)
2) Students aspired (occupational) fields (Field 1: construction, surveying, metal construction, mechanical engineering, production, manufacturing, agriculture, transport, or logistics. Field 2: Services, health, social services, or education. Field 3: Business, administration, art, culture, design, or media. Field 4: Science, IT, Computer, Electrical or Engineering)
And especially derived from this:
3) Adjustments in the aspired educational track between the first (confidential) elicitation of aspirations and the second (homework) elicitation of aspirations (and whether this adjustment varies across experimental conditions of the homework instructions). One special focus in addition is given here to downward adjustments in aspired tracks.
4) Adjustment/changes in the aspired occupational field between the first (confidential) elicitation of aspirations and the second (homework) elicitation of aspirations (and whether this adjustment varies across experimental conditions of the homework instructions).

And especially derived from this (for the 50% with a confidential question about rating tracks first):
3) Adjustments in the aspired educational track between the first (confidential) elicitation of aspirations and the second elicitation of aspirations (and whether this adjustment varies across experimental conditions of the instructions for the treated section). One special focus in addition is given here to downward adjustments in aspired tracks.

Primary Outcomes (Explanation)
|
Before
3) The outcome variable of adjusting/changing aspired educational tracks will take value 1 if the following case applies (and 0 otherwise): Answer to the preferred track in the homework task is NOT equal to the answer to the preferred track in the first, confidential elicitation. Downward adjustment is coded in the following way: It will take value 1 if one of the two cases applies (and 0 otherwise):
- a student aspires to continuing school in the first elicitation, but in the homework does not aspire to continuing school anymore
- a student aspires to vocational training in the first elicitation, but in the homework aspires to starting work without further education (or to neither of the options)
4) The outcome variable of adjusting/changing aspired fields will take value 1 if the following case applies (and 0 otherwise): Answer to the preferred field in the homework task is NOT equal to the answer to the preferred field in the first, confidential elicitation.

After
3) The variable “consistency_tracks” will take the value 1 if a student gave the highest rating to the track he or she says they would prefer to pursue, and 0 otherwise.
b) The variable “track_downward_adjustment” will take the value 1 in the following two cases: first, if a student gives the highest rating to continuing school but then states they would like to do vocational training or start working without further education. Second, if a student gives the highest rating to pursuing vocational training but then states they would like to start working without further education. In all other cases, this outcome variable will take the value of 0.

Secondary Outcomes (Explanation)
|
Before
A) Takes the value one if preferred track of the student (once in confidential elicitation, once in homework elicitation) is different from the perceived preferred track of at least one parent (or separately for mother/father)
B) Takes the value one if preferred field of the student (once in confidential elicitation, once in homework elicitation) is different from the perceived preferred field of at least one parent (or separately for mother/father)
|
After
A) Takes the value one if preferred track of the student is different from the perceived preferred track of at least one parent (or separately for mother/father)
B) Takes the value one if preferred field of the student is different from the perceived preferred field of at least one parent (or separately for mother/father)
