| Summary: | 博士 === 國立交通大學 === 教育研究所 === 103 === This study examined the impact of paternal/maternal support and parental expectations on developmental indecision and indecisiveness of college students and the mediating effect of career self-efficacy. Employing “Parental Support Scale”“Living up to Parental Expectations”, “Career Decision Making Self-Efficacy Scale”, “Career Developmental Indecision Questionnaire”, and “Career Indecisiveness Questionnaire”as research tools, the researcher used stratified random sampling to select 9 colleges in Taiwan. The questionnaires were administered to 633 university students in eastern, northern, central, and southern Taiwan. The retrieved data was then analyzed with Pearson’s product-moment correlation and hierarchical regression analysis to test the research hypotheses. Findings were as follow: 1. The results revealed that only accurate self-appraisal significantly mediated the relationship between emotional support from mother and developmental indecision regarding unreliable information. In addition, career self-efficacy did not mediate the relationship between paternal support and developmental indecision and indecisiveness. 2. With more “perceived self-performance (PSP)” and “living up to parental expectations (LPE)” of parental expectation, college students are less inclined to developmental indecision and indecisiveness. With more “perceived parental expectation (PPE) ” of parental expectation, college students are more inclined to indecisiveness. 3. Both the relation between PSP and career indecision and the relation between LPE and career indecision were completely or partially mediated by career self-efficacy. Based on the results stated above, further discussions were presented with suggestion for future applications in counseling and research directions.
