这项纵向研究的目的有两个。首先，研究了青少年职业适应与职业认同的稳定与变化规律。其次，我们考察了职业适应性与职业认同之间的相互关系。为了解决这两个研究目标，我们测试了性别、学校类型和年龄的调节作用。参与者为1151名青少年（58.7%为女性）。他们在一个学年里填写了三次评估职业适应性和职业认同过程的量表。潜在增长曲线。分析强调了职业关注、控制和信心的轻微纵向下降，尤其是在男孩、职业学校学生和中晚期青少年中。此外，随着时间的推移，职业学校的男生和学生对职业的深入探索较少，对当前职业承诺的认同较少，对职业的灵活性和自我怀疑更多。交叉滞后路径分析的结果突出了职业适应性与职业认同之间的相互关联。职业适应正向预测青少年的职业探索和职业承诺处理方式。职业承诺和对承诺的重新考虑对职业适应能力有及时的预测作用。这些结果表明，职业适应性和职业认同是青少年职业发展的动态和相互关联的维度。讨论了理论和实践意义。(C) 2015爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
The purpose of this longitudinal study was two-fold. First, we investigated patterns of stability and change in career adaptability and vocational identity in adolescents. Second, we examined reciprocal associations between career adaptability and vocational identity. In addressing both research aims we tested the moderating effects of gender, school-type, and age. Participants were 1151 (58.7% female) adolescents. They filled in measures that appraised career adaptabilities and vocational identity processes three times during a school year. Latent growth curve. analyses highlighted slight longitudinal decreases in career concern, control, and confidence especially in boys, vocational school students, and middle-to-late adolescents. Also, over time boys and students attending vocational schools reported less in-depth occupational exploration, less identification with present vocational commitments, and more flexibility and self-doubt about their careers. Findings of cross-lagged path analyses highlighted reciprocal associations between career adaptability and vocational identity. Career adaptability positively predicted adolescents' ways of dealing-with vocational exploration and commitment. Vocational commitment and reconsideration of commitment predicted career adapt-abilities in time. These results indicate that career adaptability and vocational identity are dynamic and interrelated dimensions of adolescent career development. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
