The aim of present study was to review the effects of demographic factors (age, gender, parentsʹ education and educational improvement) on pursuing educational and occupational aspirations (orientation of educational and occupational routes) during transitional Period from adolescence ro early youth by utilizing linear information. The theoretical framework of present study is Banduraʹs social growth theory (1986, 1997). Based on Banduraʹs social learning theory (1986, 1997), gender and age have continuous effects on individualʹs behaviors and beliefs in educational and occupational options and achieving them. In other words, factors with continuous and bilateral (mutual) effects (educational improvement, self-concept sufficiency, parentʹs education, gender, age) are the predictors of aspirations and their final achievement. Longitudinal study is used in this research. 210 students (81 boys and 129 girls) were selected by random sampling and they were studied by a structured questionnaire to the final stage of this 5-year research. The collected data were analysis by descriptive and inferential statistics. Educational and occupational aspirations were analyzed based on the educational and occupational levels that each participant planned to achieve them. The results show the selection of four educational routes in various levels (high school group, college group, undergraduate group and graduated group) for youngsters. The findings indicate that educational improvement in early high school is the only variable which shows stable educational aspirations and routs in the early youth. There is not a statistically significant difference between age, gender, parentʹs education and educational and occupational aspirations. Overall, the finding show that early interference is effective to reform the aspirations in order to create the best and real aims as well as expanding suitable occupational plans as a tool to facilitate individualsʹ convepts of their all capabilities.
