Professional Identity Dynamics and Perceived Dysfunctionality Related to the Education Level

The paper discusses the relation between the education level and the perception of the individual's image of profession (Professional Identity). Also we analyzed the relation between the Professional Identity and the perceived Dysfunctionality. Having in mind the assumption that the level of education contribute to changes at the cognitive level, including the profession representations, we have assessed the Professional Identity in relation to the educational level on a sample of 60 adults, divided in three groups: 20 primary school graduates (8 classes), 20 high-school graduates and 20 university graduates. The level of perceived Dysfunctionality was also evaluated for all the three groups.
