Abstract

This research explored the interconnection between career and academic progress in the context of Gaokao pressure among Chinese high school students. Employing a three-wave longitudinal design, 1260 students were analyzed using hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) over two years. Findings unveiled a positive correlation between career development and academic motivation and self-efficacy. Moreover, the study revealed that career action moderated academic self-efficacy based on the trajectory of career development. Increasing career development positively impacted academic self-efficacy, while declining career development had a negative effect. These results underscore the necessity for tailored career education interventions. Students with well-established career development can benefit from practical opportunities, whereas those with less mature development can benefit from comprehensive career information. This study offers valuable insights for educators and policymakers to foster optimal academic and career advancement among Chinese high school students.

中国高中生的职业发展：与学业自我效能感和学习动机的关系

本研究探讨了中国高中生在高考压力下职业生涯与学业进步之间的相互联系。研究采用三波纵向设计，使用层次线性建模（HLM）对两年内的 1260 名学生进行了分析。研究结果表明，生涯发展与学习动机和自我效能感之间存在正相关。此外，研究还发现，职业生涯行动会根据职业生涯发展的轨迹调节学业自我效能感。职业发展的增加对学业自我效能感有积极影响，而职业发展的减少则有消极影响。这些结果表明，有必要采取有针对性的职业教育干预措施。职业发展成熟的学生可以从实践机会中获益，而职业发展不成熟的学生则可以从全面的职业信息中获益。本研究为教育工作者和政策制定者提供了宝贵的见解，以促进中国高中生在学业和职业发展方面取得最佳成绩。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology focuses on two key concepts: human development, which refers to the psychological transformations and modifications that occur during the life cycle and influence an individual behavior within the social milieu; and application of knowledge, which is derived from investigating variables in the developmental process. Its contributions cover research that deals with traditional life span markets (age, social roles, biological status, environmental variables) and broadens the scopes of study to include variables that promote understanding of psychological processes and their onset and development within the life span. Most importantly.
