“…Psychology Research and Behavior Management 2021:14 558 perceive that their parents strongly expect them to gain a prestigious career in line with Asian cultural values, which contributes to negative long-term effects. 63,64 Moreover, the strict isolation in Chongqing, China led to a lack of entertainment and irregular daily routines, and medical students expressed an urgent desire to return to normal school life and tended to pay special attention to the control of the coronavirus, which showed a positive association with PS, in line with a study of nursing students in Turkey. 47 Comparing the pre-epidemic literature, the results of this study suggested that the COVID-19 crisis did affect the distribution of stressors among medical students.…”

After a year of the COVID-19 pandemic, countries have repeatedly imposed strict quarantine regimes as the virus mutates and becomes more contagious. Medical undergraduate education has been disrupted and transformed into prolonged home isolation and online learning. Although studies have reported that the COVID-19 pandemic tends to increase perceived stress (PS) and affect the mental health of medical students, the influencing factors are unclear. Therefore, based on the stress process model, this study will comprehensively evaluate the distribution of stressors of medical students and explore the personal and environmental predictors of PS during the epidemic. Participants and Methods: An online survey was conducted among medical students (n=369) from three medical universities in western China who engaged in online learning. A stress process conceptual framework was formed to explore the influencing factors of PS. The survey items contained four sections: (a) the potential stressors derived from academic, psychosocial and health-related demands; coping resources such as (b) online learning environment support and (c) personal resilience, including online learning behavior and individual characteristics; and (d) PS, perception of imbalanced demands and coping resources. Results: The mean PS score was 17.39 (SD=4.58), and over four-fifths (82.3%) of the students had moderate to high levels of stress. The average item scores of academic, psychosocial and health-related stressors were 2.72 (SD=0.55), 2.31 (SD=0.55) and 2.07 (SD=0.50), respectively. Gender, grade, psychosocial stressors, health-related stressors, specific online learning behavior (persistence, attitude and flexibility), and the online learning environment (teaching, social and cognitive presence) were predictors of PS. Conclusion:Our results specify that a reduction in psychological and health-related stressor stimulation, specific online learning behavior promotion, and well-established online learning environment support could be considered essential for alleviating the negative impacts of COVID-19 on the psychosocial health of medical undergraduates.

“…This may also create further difficulty in the conceptualization and operationalization of the construct (Attanasio et al, 2019). Another possible explanation is that parental expectationsalong with other attributes of parental cognitions such as parental values, beliefs, and attitudesare considered as significant source of youth's self-efficacy and career exploration in the collectivist environment (e.g., Jasmon et al, 2020;Sawitri & Creed, 2017). This may also explain why the four studies examining the influence of parental cognitions included in the meta-analysis were all conducted in a collectivist cultural context (i.e., Indonesia) and contributed the largest effect size within this meta-analysis.…”

Despite extensive research on career decision-making self-efficacy (CDMSE) in relation to youth's career development and outcomes, the relative influence of different parental variables on youth's CDMSE remains relatively unclear. Thus, this meta-analysis sought to compare correlational findings concerning the influence of three types of parental variables-parental cognitions, parenting behaviors, and parentchild relationships-on youth's CDMSE. This meta-analysis also aimed to examine differences in how maternal influences only, paternal influences only, and the influence of both parents are associated with youth's CDMSE. A systematic search for relevant literature was conducted in six scientific databases (i.e., ERIC, PsycINFO, Social Sciences Citation Index, Social Services Abstracts, Sociological Abstracts, and Social Work Abstracts) and other sources (i.e., Google Scholar and reference searching), which yielded 27 quantitative studies from 3529 records on parental factors of youth's CDMSE published between 1983 and 2020. The results showed that all three types of parental variables demonstrated a low to medium association with youth's CDMSE, although parental cognitions had the largest effect size (r = .312; 95% CI [0.217, 0.407]), followed by parenting behaviors (r = .303; 95% CI [0.248, 0.359]) and parent-child relationships (r = .255; 95% CI [0.226, 0.284]). The effect size for the influences of both parents (r = .312; 95% CI [0.264, 0.359]) was found to be larger than that of maternal (r = .256; 95% CI [0.216, 0.296]) or paternal influences (r = .230; 95% CI [0.186, 0.275]) alone. Those results pose important implications and indicate promising directions for research and practice to improve parenting about young people's career development. KeywordsParental cognitions, parenting behaviors, parent-child relationships, meta-analysis, career decision-making self-efficacy Highlights • Youth's career decision-making self-efficacy was the outcome variable in this study.• Different parental influences impact youth's career decision-making self-efficacy.• Parental cognition was most strongly correlated with the outcome variable.• Parenting behaviors and parent-child relationships also affect the outcome variable.• Both parents together impact the outcome variable more than a single parent alone.
