부모의 심리적 통제 및 자율성 지지가 대학생의 진로적응성에 미치는 영향: 진로결정 자율성의 매개효과

초록

This study was to assess construct validity of parental psychological control and autonomy support, and also to examine the mediating role of university students’ career decision making autonomy in the relation between parenting styles (psychological control, autonomy support) and career adaptability of university student. Three hundreds and fifty-five university students in Seoul, Korea, were participated in this study. The confirmatory factor analysis indicated that psychological control and autonomy support are discrete factors, suggesting that these are distinct constructs rather than opposite ends of a continuum. The structural equation modeling revealed that psychological control decreased career decision making autonomy and career adaptability of university student, whereas autonomy support enhanced them. Moreover, the effect of parenting styles on career adaptability was mediated by career decision making autonomy. In particular, the effect of parental autonomy support on career decision making autonomy and career adaptability of their children is significantly stronger than the effect of parental psychological control. These results suggest that focusing on parental autonomy support is essential for career development of university student.
