“…According to previous research on the social cognitive career theory, CDSE plays a key role in career planning and development (Chui et al, 2020;Gushue and Whitson 2006;Lent et al 2001Lent et al , 2003Lent et al , 2005. In both Western and Eastern cultures, CDSE is also strongly influenced by parenting styles (Ginevra et al, 2015;Guan et al, 2016;Kiadarbandsari et al, 2016;Liu et al, 2015;Lustig et al, 2017;Roman et al, 2015;Wright et al, 2017). Fouad et al (2010, in Sovet andMetz 2014) affirmed the family affects an individual's career-related decisions, through the provision of information and emotional and financial support.…”

Career decision self-efficacy (CDSE), i.e., the ability to successfully make important career-related decisions, is influenced by perceived parenting styles, thinking styles, and gender. Thus, this non-experimental study examined the effects of these factors on the CDSE of 617 high school students in Jakarta, Indonesia. According to the measuring instruments (CDSE Scale-Short Form, Parental Authority Questionnaire, and Thinking and Styles Inventory-Revised II), the adolescents' CDSE was influenced by the authoritative and permissive parenting styles, and three types of thinking styles. Moreover, the thinking styles mediated the relationship between the perceived parenting styles and CDSE, while gender acted as a homologizer.

“…Gnilka, Ashby, and Noble (2013) indicated that attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance were both negatively correlated with life satisfaction [46]. Another study found that both anxious and avoidant attachment had small negative direct effects on life satisfaction [47].…”

This study is about the types of multiple intelligences and attachment styles among a group of Turkish university students. Participants were 450 students from one public university in Turkey. A demographic and socio-economic questionnaire, Multiple Intelligence Survey, Revised Adult Attachment Scale, Satisfaction with Life Scale and The Oxford Happiness Questionnaire -short version were used as study instruments. Of the 450 students, 63.8% were female and the mean age was 21.24±2.14 years. Bodily intelligence was reported more frequently by male students whereas intrapersonal and logical intelligences were reported at higher rates in female students. Attachment related avoidance was reported by 58.7% of the students. Male students reported more attachment related anxiety, and female students reported more attachment related avoidance. No significant correlations were determined between attachment style and economic status, age, class-year and Grade Point Average of the students. The relationship between students’ intelligence and attachment style was also insignificant. No significant relationship was determined between the happiness and life satisfaction scores of students with different types of intelligences. Female students were found to be significantly happier and satisfied with their lives than male students. Students with a poor economic status had the lowest happiness and life satisfaction scores and the difference was statistically significant. These findings are important to provide a more complete picture about the difficulties experienced by young adults when socially or emotionally adapting to university life. There is much to say regarding the impact of “multiple intelligences”, “attachment styles” and the “subjective well-being” of university students.

“…As mentioned earlier, domain satisfaction is an important pathway for enhancing life satisfaction, and several studies with culturally diverse college students have found a positive relation between academic satisfaction and life satisfaction (Lent et al, 2011; Lent et al, 2017; Lent, Taveira, & Lobo, 2012; Lent et al, 2014; Lent, Taveira, Sheu, & Singley, 2009; Ojeda, Flores, & Navarro, 2011). Recent research with college students outside of the engineering domain has identified career support (Jiang et al, 2017) as a predictor of life satisfaction and coping efficacy (Wright, Firsick, Kacmarski, & Jenkins-Guarnieri, 2017) as a mediating variable in the relationship between attachment and life satisfaction. We explore whether the findings of these recent studies (Jiang et al, 2017; Wright et al, 2017) extend to the engineering domain.…”

“…This is the first study to incorporate life satisfaction in a test of the social cognitive model of well-being in the engineering domain. Based on both theory (Lent & Brown, 2008) and prior research (i.e., Wright et al, 2017), we expect that coping efficacy is a mechanism through which perceived engineering supports and barriers influence students’ overall life satisfaction.…”

Using latent growth modeling (LGM) procedures, this study tested a model of Latina/o engineering students’ life satisfaction based on Lent and Brown’s social cognitive well-being model with a sample of 342 Latina/o engineering students attending a Hispanic-serving institution. Participants completed measures of perceived supports, perceived barriers, and coping efficacy at 3 points, each approximately 1 year apart, and life satisfaction at Time 3. The results indicated that perceived supports, perceived barriers, and coping efficacy changed across time. Specifically, perceived supports and coping efficacy decreased and perceived barriers increased over time. Individual differences were found in the growth patterns of these constructs, with participants with low perceived supports and coping efficacy at Time 1 demonstrating more decrease and those with low perceived barriers at Time 1 demonstrating more increase in these variables over time. In the multivariate LGM analysis, the proposed model fit the data, but only partial support was found for the relations among the variables. Specifically, high perceived barriers were negatively related to low coping efficacy, high perceived supports were positively related to high coping efficacy, and high coping efficacy was positively related to high life satisfaction. However, coping efficacy did not mediate the relations between supports and barriers to life satisfaction. Finally, growth in perceived barriers was negatively related to the decline of coping efficacy. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
