Overview

Longitudinal study reveals dynamic parent-child and career adaptability networks in adolescents, indicating mutual influences between parental expectations and student career concern.

Key Points

  • To investigate how parental relationship quality and career-related parenting processes dynamically interact with adolescent career adaptability and ambivalence across senior high school.
  • Conducted a three-wave longitudinal study tracking 1,944 Chinese adolescents (mean age = 15.54 years, 55.1% female) across grades 10, 11, and 12.
  • Employed cross-lagged panel network analysis informed by the family systems perspective to model directional relationships among parenting behaviors, relationships with both parents, and youth career dimensions.
  • Career concern functioned as a core adaptive resource that consistently exerted longitudinal influences on other career adaptability dimensions across all three grades.
  • Father–child relationship quality uniquely linked to parental support and parent–child career congruence across waves.
  • Career confidence shifted from an outcome predicted by other resources between grades 10 and 11 to an active driver of adaptive resource gains between grades 11 and 12, while grade 11 career concern predicted subsequent parental career expectations.
