The present study aimed to explore how economic and social resources interact with emerging adults’ vocational identity development. Emerging adults (N = 108) from different socioeconomic backgrounds in Turkey were interviewed. Participants' reflections on the intersection between socioeconomic resources and vocational identity development were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Results revealed that access to economic and social resources was described as a mediating factor between vocational choices and identity expression. Participants’ reports also showed that economic and social resources interacted with vocational identity development by affecting vocational exploration, expectations of vocational choices, perceived support and guidance, and future projections. While participants’ socioeconomic background was a significant factor affecting the prevalence of participants’ experiences, connections between the subthemes also indicated different clusters of experiences. Results provide important insights regarding the intersection between socioeconomic resources and vocational identity and the boundary and promoting factors leading emerging adults to pursue their vocational aspirations.

本研究旨在探讨经济和社会资源如何与新兴成年人的职业认同发展相互作用。新兴成人（N= 108) 来自土耳其不同社会经济背景的人接受了采访。参与者对社会经济资源与职业认同发展之间的交叉点的思考进行了定性和定量分析。结果显示，获得经济和社会资源被描述为职业选择和身份表达之间的中介因素。参与者的报告还表明，经济和社会资源通过影响职业探索、职业选择期望、感知支持和指导以及未来预测与职业认同发展相互作用。虽然参与者的社会经济背景是影响参与者体验普遍性的重要因素，但子主题之间的联系也表明了不同的体验集群。
