“…It is common in young adults and has become an important reason for them to attend career counselling (Şensoy & Siyez, 2019). High career distress has been associated, in turn, with lower occupational engagement and future career expectations (Kim & Lee, 2019) and poorer psychological and subjective wellbeing (Arslan et al, 2020). In this study, we distinguished between career distress related to uncertainty about one’s career future (i.e.…”

Internal dissonance and disagreement with significant others over career goals can disrupt career progress. Based on goal setting and self-regulation theories, this study tested the relationships between self and parent career goal discrepancy (gap between what is desired and what is achieved) and career goal adjustment (career compromise and goal revision intentions) directly and indirectly via negative emotions (self- and parent-referenced career distress and regret). We surveyed 315 young adult students (76.5% women; MAge 19.52 years) recruited from a single multi-campus Australian university. Using structural equation modelling (maximum likelihood estimation), we found that higher self and parent career goal discrepancies were associated with higher compromise and intention to downgrade career goals. Further, self- and parent-referenced emotional responses partially explained the discrepancy to goal adjustment relationships. The findings have implications for how career theories incorporate self- and other-set career goal disruptions and should help counsellors assist young people, particularly in a strongly individualist, but multicultural, country such as Australia, to understand and manage their tendencies to compromise or downgrade their career goals.

“…Academic experiences and feelings within school, for instance feelings around pressure and test anxiety or around commitment to learning, have also been found to contribute to wellbeing and stress differences (Boulton et al, 2019;O'Driscoll & McAleese, 2022;Putwain et al, 2021;Steinmayr et al, 2016) and studies on career guidance available in schools find direct associations with subjective wellbeing outcomes (Akkermans et al, 2018;Arslan & Bayraktar-Uyar, 2020). Finally, teacher-student relationships have been identified in the school effects literature as having different impacts on wellbeing at different stages of education, with their impact possibly declining with age (Ettekal & Shi, 2020;Huang et al, 2022;Wu & Hughes, 2015).…”

The school environment contains a variety of factors understood to be linked to adolescent wellbeing. However, there is limited research on how adolescents’ simultaneous experiences of these distinct factors predict their later subjective wellbeing. This paper uses longitudinal structural equation modelling (N = 25,149, T1 and T2 one year apart) to test the effects of learning-related school experiences (happiness with attainment; careers education; staff-student relationships), and peer-related school experiences (school belonging; friendships and social support; physical and relational bullying victimisation) on later wellbeing. Of the variables considered, staff-student relationships were not significantly associated with wellbeing, while a sense of belonging to school showed the strongest association. Future research exploring these relationships should further consider the design of school belonging interventions; the addition of further academic and social school experiences in wellbeing analyses; and, the directionality of these relationships.

“…In recent years, the effects and antecedents of these stresses and distresses experienced by university students in their career processes have also been investigated in Turkey, too (Bozyiğit & Gökbaraz, 2020;Tican, 2020). These studies argued that career-related distress and stress have negative effects on both the psychological and subjective wellbeing of students (Arslan & Bayraktar-Uyar, 2020). In addition, anxiety about unemployment is positively related to university students' stress and depression symptoms (Tekin-Tayfun & Korkmaz, 2016).…”

Career stress is one of the current issues that university students have to deal with. Although there are many reasons, it is stated that perfectionism can be one of the main reasons for the formation of stress. On the other hand, it is supported by the literature that the perception of social support can be a source that can reduce this effect. For such reasons, this study aims to examine the mediating role of perceived social support in the relationship between university students' perfectionism and career stress. A total of 433 university students, 311 (71.8%) female and 122 (28.2%) male, participated in the sample of this study. The measurement tools used to collect data in the study are the ‘Big Three Perfectionism Scale-16'', 'Career Stress Scale' and 'Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support'. The research findings explain that the perfectionist personality traits of the students have a positive and significant effect on career stress. It is also explained that perceived multidimensional social support has a partial mediating role between perfectionism and career stress. The findings of the research were discussed in relation to the literature.
