“…It explored the multidimensional anxieties surrounding career choices in high school students, echoing prior research on adolescent decision-making (Albion & Fogarty, 2002). Consistent with past findings, the study identified concerns regarding financial instability, aligning with the welldocumented link between career choice and future income potential (Bandelj & Lanuza, 2018); family constraints, reflecting the influence of family background and expectations on career aspirations (Lee & Yi, 2010); educational qualifications, mirroring anxieties about meeting educational requirements and possessing the necessary skills (Chen et al, 2021); and employment prospects, highlighting concerns about job availability and security within the chosen field (Paixão & Gamboa, 2017).…”

Adolescence entails significant developmental milestones, including career decision-making, often accompanied by career anxiety. This study explores choosing career anxiety among high school students, considering its multifaceted nature and its impact on decision-making. A quantitative approach was employed, surveying 141 high school students at Nguyen Huu Canh High School in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Questionnaires assessed anxiety levels across various domains, analyzed using SPSS version 26.0. Females exhibited higher anxiety about career choice compared to males (t(139) = -2.699, p < .05), particularly regarding anxiety about profession characteristics (Female: M = 2.54, SD = .654; Male: M = 2.22, SD = .710). Tenth graders reported heightened anxiety about personal capabilities compared to eleventh graders (F(2, 138) = 5.152, p < .05). Academic performance affected anxiety about career decision-making (F(2, 138) = 4.265, 4.489, and 3.262, respectively, all p < .05), with average performers showing higher anxiety about profession characteristics and above-average performers experiencing more anxiety about personal capabilities and social needs. Anxiety also varied across fields of interest (F(5, 135) = 2.128 and 2.720, respectively, both p < .05), reflecting diverse concerns among high school students in different career paths. Understanding the complexities of career anxiety is crucial for informed decision-making. Tailored interventions addressing gender disparities, grade-level transitions, academic performance, and field-specific concerns are essential for empowering high school students in career navigation. These findings highlight the importance of supporting adolescents through comprehensive career guidance initiatives to promote holistic development and well-being.

“…8 These familial factors may provide a supportive background for adolescents' career maturity. [14][15][16][17] Additionally, by communicating openly with their parents, adolescents have more opportunities to exchange information and attitudes with their parents, acquire strategies pertaining to self-regulation and exploration, and integrate information from different sources. 18 Thus, family communication is an important channel for adolescents' development of career maturity.…”

“…High-quality family communication can promote the operation of family function and the development of psychological resources, 8,55,56 which may in turn facilitate the achievement of career maturity. 15,57 Furthermore, previous research has demonstrated that parent-child interactions and relationships affect adolescents' peer interactions and that adolescents' career maturity is influenced by their peers. 58,59 Therefore, some variables of peer interactions can be included in the model.…”

Family communication quality is an influential factor of career maturity; however, very few studies have investigated the internal mechanisms underlying the relation between family communication quality and career maturity. This study investigated the mediating effect of time perspective on this relation, explored adolescents' time perspective profiles, and examined the relationships among family communication quality, career maturity, and time perspective profiles. Methods: In this one-year interval longitudinal study, adolescents (67.19% girls; aged 16.10-24.09 years; n = 442) reported parentadolescent communication quality and time perspective at Time 1 and career maturity at Time 2. Results: The results showed that family communication quality positively predicted adolescents' career maturity, and this relation was mediated by adolescents' Present Fatalistic and Future time perspectives. Additionally, this study identified four time perspective profiles: balanced, moderate, negative, and risk-taking. We further examined how these time perspective profiles are associated with family communication quality and career maturity. The results showed that adolescents' perceptions of high-quality communication with their parents promoted them to endorse a balanced time perspective profile and protected them from endorsing a negative time perspective profile. Moreover, adolescents with a balanced time perspective profile exhibited better development in terms of career maturity, whereas those with a negative time perspective profile reported poor development in terms of career maturity. Conclusion: Present Fatalistic and Future time perspectives mediated the association between parent-adolescent communication quality and career maturity. Additionally, adolescents who engaged in high-quality communication with parents were more likely to endorse the balanced time perspective profile and less likely to adopt the negative time perspective profile; these adolescents were also more likely to achieve higher levels of career maturity. These findings highlight the necessity of improving parent-adolescent communication quality and guiding adolescents to establish a balanced time perspective profile with the goal of promoting adolescents' career maturity.

“…Thus there is an intergenerational link in educational attainment where family background and student characteristics impact academic achievement level of students (Pettit, Yu, Dodge, & Bates, 2009). Family systems predict career attitude maturity among students (S. K. Lee & Yi, 2010) where parents impact the development of gender attitudes on academic majors (Gunderson, Ramirez, Levine, & Beilock, 2012) and socio-economic status impacts scholastic achievement in students (Chaliha & Hazarika, 2012). In brief, parents support impacts learning goal orientation and career decision-making self-efficacy among students (Garcia, Restubog, Toledano, Tolentino, & Rafferty, 2012a) but parents and teacher's perceptions of information communication technology professionals vary by gender impacting students' academic major choice (Sáinz, Pálmen, & García-Cuesta, 2012).…”

Objective: The study aims to empirically test the relationship between types of campus adaptations across students' mothers' level of nature of occupation among engineering undergraduate B. Tech students pursuing a four-year study at Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT's) and National Institutes of Technology (NIT's) in India. Method:The Multivariate Analysis of Variance (Manova) test was run with SPSS vs. 21 to compare the student's campus adaptations of IIT's and NIT's by students' mothers' level of occupation. Multistage random sampling with n = 1420 students were selected comprising of employed at government (n = 172), employed at private (n =141), own a business (n = 71) employed as unskilled labourer (n = 10), farmer (n = 10), retired from government service or pensioner (n = 06), not alive (n = 03), unemployed (n = 107). Result:In the academic adaptation, students' mothers' who were employed by the government, owned a business, employed as unskilled labourer and pursued farming had positive outcome while students' whose mothers' were employed at private, retired from government service, not alive and unemployed had negative outcomes. In social adaptation students' whose mothers' were employed by the government, owned a business, retired from government service and unemployed had positive outcomes while students' whose mothers' were employed at private, employed as an unskilled labourer, pursued farming and not alive had negative outcomes. In physicalpsychological adaptation, students' mothers' who owned a business, not alive and unemployed had positive outcomes while student's mothers' employed at the government, employed at private, employed as an unskilled labourer, pursued farming and retired from government service had negative outcomes. In the institutional adaptation, students' mothers' employed at the government, employed at private own a business, employed as an unskilled labourer, retired from government service and not alive had positive outcomes and students whose mothers' were farmers and unemployed had negative outcomes.
