Abstract

During the formation of self-identity, adolescents experience a career decision-making process, which includes choosing a college major. Many students believe they choose the wrong major in college and thus lack the ability and interest to complete their education. Consequently, many students have low self-efficacy regarding their career decisions, which could lead to poor academic performance and thus further lower their self-efficacy. Academic competition is becoming tougher, and career decision self-efficacy is necessary for students to survive in this context. Students can modify internal and external factors to increase their career decision self-efficacy. This study aims to identify how self-compassion as an internal factor, together with peer relatedness as an external factor, contribute to students’ career decision self-efficacy and whether there are differences between male and female students. This study uses a quantitative approach with a multiple regression analysis. In general, self-compassion and peer relatedness contribute significantly to students’ career decision self-efficacy (p <.05). There were no significant differences in the levels of self-compassion and peer relatedness between males and females. However, peer relatedness had a greater influence on male students’ career decision self-efficacy whereas self-compassion had a greater influence on female students’ self-efficacy in career decisions.
