目的:探究目标定向、失败恐惧和职业成熟度之间的关系。方法:以常州某应用型本科高校600名大学生为研究对象,进行问卷调查。结果:(1) 大学生成绩接近和成绩回避与职业成熟度呈显著负相关;大学生掌握目标与职业成熟度呈显著正相关;(2) 大学生成绩接近和成绩回避与失败恐惧呈显著正相关;(3) 大学生失败恐惧与职业成熟度呈显著负相关;(4) 大学生掌握目标正向预测职业成熟度,大学生成绩接近与成绩回避负向预测职业成熟度,失败恐惧在成就目标定向与职业成熟度之间起到部分中介作用。本文还分析了这些结果的理论和实际意义,并提出了将来的研究方向。Objective: To explore the relationship between goal orientation, fear of failure and career maturity. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted with 600 college students from an applied undergraduate college in Changzhou. Results: (1) College students’ achievement proximity and achievement avoidance were significantly negatively correlated with career maturity;college students’ goal mastery was significantly positively correlated with career maturity;(2) college students’ achievement proximity and achievement avoidance were significantly positively correlated with fear of failure;(3) college students’ fear of failure was significantly negatively correlated with career maturity;(4) college students’ goal mastery positively predicted career maturity, college students’ achievement proximity and achievement avoidance negatively predicted career maturity, and fear of failure partially mediated the relationship between achievement goal orientation and career maturity. This paper also analyzes the theoretical and practical significance of these results and suggests directions for future research.
