Career Uncertainty and Employment Anxiety Faced by Arabic Language Undergraduates in the Face of Big Data

Employment anxiety is a psychological issue commonly found among contemporary college students, with manifestations that transcend disciplinary boundaries, encompassing a dual-dimensional structure of cognitive expectations and somatic symptoms, and posing threats to social stability and human resource development. Research indicates that individual psychological factors (psychological resilience, career sense of mission, cognitive bias), social environment (social support, employment guidance, social media use), and external events (pandemic, market uncertainty) collectively shape the mechanism of anxiety formation. Among these, career uncertainty as a core predictor exacerbates anxiety through pathways that reduce tolerance for uncertainty, trigger chain reactions of fear and depression, and weaken sense of control, while career planning and social support can buffer these effects. For Arabic language major students facing unique challenges in the big data era, it is recommended to establish a three-tier intervention system: at the social level, expand "language + technology" composite positions and establish information platforms; at the school level, reform curriculum systems (integrating data analysis), implement comprehensive career planning and specialized psychological interventions; at the individual level, master cross-domain skills, explore interest-career connections and enhance psychological resilience. Multi-dimensional linkage can transform uncertainty into opportunities for cross-domain development.
