Career decision-making trajectories and their determinants in multiethnic adolescents in high school
摘要
Multiethnic families in Korea have primarily been formed through marriages between Korean men and foreign women from less developed countries. Multiethnic adolescents face career decision-making challenges due to ethnic discrimination, identity confusion, and limited access to career information. This study aims to analyze multiethnic adolescents’ career decision-making changes using data from the Multiethnic Adolescents Panel Survey. The study employed latent growth models for the analysis. Results show steady growth in decision-making with age, influenced by bicultural acceptance, academic adaptation, self-awareness, and peer relationships. The study highlights the importance of fostering these factors to effectively support multiethnic adolescents in making career decisions.
