Cross cultural study of vocational decision making in Japanese and Korean college students by fs/QCA

定性比较分析或布尔分析是由Ragin（1987）开发的，用于确定因果条件的因果条件组合与结果之间的关系。定性比较分析作为一种以个案为导向的比较方法，已被广泛应用于社会科学领域的各个专题。然而，将定性比较分析应用于面向案例的数据的障碍之一是难以对案例进行“是/否”分配。为此，Ragin（2000）利用模糊集理论对定性比较分析进行了扩展，提出了模糊集/定性比较分析。职业决策是青少年或成年早期最重要的发展任务之一。然而，越来越多的所谓“飞特族”继续从事非正规工作，越来越多的所谓“无业游民”在学校毕业后不就业、不接受教育或培训。因此，戈尔无法做出职业选择的大学生进行有效的职业指导和咨询就显得尤为重要。本研究尝试运用定性比较分析的方法，发现大学生的职业犹豫与其升学动机和职业动机之间存在着一定的关系。

Qualitative Comparative Analysis or Boolean analysis was developed by Ragin(1987) for identifying the relations between the combinations of causal conditions of causal conditions and the outcomes. As a casa-oriented comparative method, Qualitative Comparative Analysis has been used for various topics in the field of social sciences. However, one of the obstacles in applying Qualitative Comparative Analysis to case-oriented data is the difficulty of making "yes/no" assignments of cases. Therefore, Ragin (2000) extended Qualitative Comparative Analysis by the fuzzy set theory and proposed Fuzzy set /Qualitative Comparative Analysis. Vocational decision making is one of the most important developmental tasks in adolescence or early adulthood. However there have been growing numbers of so-called "freeters" who continue to work at non-regular jobs, and of so-called "NEETs" who are not in employment, education or training after graduation from school. Therefore, it has become much more important to to develop effective career guidance and counseling gor the students who cannot make their vocational decision. We tried to apply Qualitative Comparative Analysis that vocational indecision in college students could be also associated with their motives lf entering a college and vocational motives.
