青少年的生涯導航：社群感在生涯調適與社會情緒健康之中介角色

The Mediating Effect of Social Interest on Career Adaptability and Social-Emotional Health

研究目的：本研究以個體心理學為理論基礎，並結合生涯建構理論，根據社群感作為心理健康關鍵指標的理論觀點，以及生涯調適力在面對發展轉變中的功能，旨在檢驗概念模型假設社群感在生涯調適力與社會情緒健康之間具有中介效果。藉此模型補足現有理論對青少年生涯與情緒發展的整合與理解。研究方法：透過全國代表性3,330位青少年，預試階段採用項目分析及試探性的信度分析；正式階段採驗證性因素分析、相關分析、及結構方程模式來檢測量表的信效度以及驗證社群感的中介效果。研究結果：（1）生涯調適亦可顯著預測高社會情緒健康；（2）生涯調適能顯著預測高社群感；（3）社群感也能顯著預測高社會情緒健康；（4）社群感在生涯調適與社會情緒健康之間具有中介效果。研究結論：個體心理學理論指出，每個人都需要學習與他人連結，以建立對整體社會的歸屬感。本研究結果顯示，面對生涯不確定性的青少年，應積極參與社群互動，以培養對人際社群的連結感，進而促進其社會情緒健康。

Purpose: Career construction theory (CCT) is a developmental theory that emphasizes how individuals construct their vocational identity, build career stories, and assign meaning to their work. From this perspective, career adaptability has a role in managing developmental transitions, which are particularly important in adolescence. Given that social interest is a key indicator of psychological health, we tested a conceptual model in which social interest mediates the relationship between career adaptability and social-emotional health. Our goal was to validate an integrative framework that captures both career and emotional dimensions of adolescent development. Methods: We administered a survey to adolescents in Taiwan and obtained 3,330 valid responses to our pre-test and survey. We conducted exploratory factor analysis on the pre-test results and validated our proposed model with the survey results using confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, variance analysis, and structure equation modeling with career adaptability, social interest, and social-emotional health as the main measurement variables. Results: We identified a significant positive correlation between career adaptability and social-emotional health, a significant positive correlation between social interest and social-emotional health, and a significant positive correlation between career adaptability and social interest. Conclusions: These results indicate that social interest plays a critical mediating role between career adaptability and social-emotional health. When career adaptability is paired with interpersonal belonging in
the form of social interest, it corresponds to better psychological health. The findings extend the applicability of career construction theory.
