Abstract

The potential mediating role of career-related parenting practice in the association between parental career expectation and adolescents’ career development remains understudied, especially the likely transactional dynamics inherent within such links. This study utilized three-annual-wave data from 3196 Chinese adolescents across the high school years ( Mage = 15.55 years old, SD = .44; 52.8% girls at Wave 1) to address such gaps. Results of cross-lagged structural equational modeling analyses demonstrated reciprocal associations between parental career expectation and career adaptability consistently across three high school years; and career-related parental support served as a mediator in such associations, net of a series of covariates. However, no associations of career ambivalence with parental career expectation across the high school years emerged. Such findings highlighted the dynamic nature of the associations among parental career expectation, career-related parenting practice, and adolescents’ career developmental outcomes. Implications for future research and practice were discussed.

父母职业期望通过与职业相关的父母实践预测青少年职业发展:高中时期的交易动态

职业相关的育儿实践在父母职业期望与青少年职业发展之间的潜在中介作用仍未得到充分研究，特别是这种联系中可能固有的交易动态。本研究利用了3196名中国高中青少年的三年波数据(Mage = 15.55岁，SD = 0.44;52.8%的女孩(第一波)来解决这些差距。交叉滞后结构方程模型分析结果表明，父母职业期望与职业适应性在高中3年期间呈显著的负相关关系;在一系列协变量中，与职业相关的父母支持在这种关联中起中介作用。然而，在高中阶段，职业矛盾心理与父母职业期望之间没有关联。这些发现强调了父母职业期望、职业相关的父母实践与青少年职业发展结果之间的动态关系。讨论了对未来研究和实践的启示。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Career Assessment publishes methodologically sound, empirically based studies focusing on the process and techniques by which counselors and others gain understanding of the individual faced with the necessity of making informed career decisions. The term career assessment, as used in this journal, covers the various techniques, tests, inventories, rating scales, interview schedules, surveys, and direct observational methods used in scientifically based practice and research to provide an improved understanding of career decision-making. The focus is not just testing, but all those means developed and used to assess and evaluate individuals and environments in the field of career counseling and development.
