Drawing on social comparison theory, this study examines how relative standing in science achievement, socioeconomic status (SES), and math self-efficacy is related to expectations for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers. Using PISA 2022 data from over 560,000 students across 72 economies, multilevel generalized linear models revealed more assimilation effects at the school level and more contrast effects at the country level, with distinct gendered and domain-specific patterns. Girls’ STEM expectations were more strongly associated with academic comparisons, while boys’ expectations were more closely related to SES. Within STEM, information and communications technology careers required broad comparative advantages, whereas science, engineering, and health careers showed mixed gender patterns. Findings highlight that adolescents calibrate career expectations not only against local peers but also against national standards, underscoring the need for career guidance and education policies to reduce SES barriers and gender inequities in STEM.</p>","PeriodicalId":47601,"journal":{"name":"Career Development Quarterly","volume":"74 3","pages":"231-249"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cdq.70031","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148878305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined how academic marginalization—particularly related to educational background—influences the mental well-being of South Korean college students, with attention to the mediating roles of vocational identity and occupational engagement. Using a conceptual model informed by career development and sociocultural perspectives, we surveyed 330 students and recent graduates navigating the school-to-work transition. The findings revealed that while marginalization was negatively associated with vocational identity and mental well-being, it did not directly influence occupational engagement. However, vocational identity served as a partial mediator between marginalization and well-being, and a sequential mediation pathway was identified through which vocational identity affected occupational engagement, which in turn influenced mental well-being. These results highlight the importance of fostering vocational identity and proactive career engagement to buffer the psychological effects of structural disadvantage. Although situated in the South Korean context, the study offers transferable insights for higher education systems globally—particularly in the United States—where students from nontraditional or marginalized academic backgrounds face similar inequities. Implications for institutional support, career development programming, and student mental health services are discussed.</p>","PeriodicalId":47601,"journal":{"name":"Career Development Quarterly","volume":"74 2","pages":"100-110"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cdq.70018","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148147297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A positive and large summary effect size (<i>r</i> = 0.48, <i>p</i> < 0.001) showed that work volition was strongly related to decent work. While there is considerable heterogeneity across the results, the strength of this relationship was not moderated by the proposed variables (e.g., cultural dimensions) in this study. Overall, we presented empirical evidence supporting the theoretical association between work volition and decent work postulated by PWT.
