摘要

本研究主要在驗證Lent、Brown、and Hackett（1994）的社會認知生涯理論。利用結構方程模式探討家庭環境、人格、自我效能對大專生生涯未定的影響。
研究樣本包括268位從中西部大學選出的生涯未定大學生，研究結果顯示出男女性的差異，家庭環境藉由自我效能直接或間接地影響女性生涯未定並不顯著，對女性而言，人格直接或間接地影響其生涯未定相當顯著，自我效能為重要中介變項。相反地，家庭環境與人格藉由自我效能直接或間接地影響男性生涯未定相當顯著。藝文的自我效能是影響女性教育及職業選擇的重要認知因素，而理工的自我效能是影響男性教育及職業選擇的重要認知因素。

The present study was to investigate the utility of Lent, Brown, and Hackett’s (1994) social cognitive theory. By means of a structural equation model using LISREL 8, a causal model regarding specific direct and indirect influences among family environment, personality, self-efficacy, and career indecision constructs was investigated for college students.
The sample included 268 university student participants who declare major undecided. Data were collected from major undecided students residing in the Midwest university. Gender differences were found with women reported no significant effect of family environment on career indecision directly and indirectly through self-efficacy. They reported a significant effect of personality on career indecision directly and indirectly through self-efficacy. Yet, Men reported a significant effect of family environment and personality on career indecision directly and indirectly through self-efficacy. Aesthetic self-efficacy was considered as an important cognitive factor mediating the women’s educational and occupational choice behaviors. Technical-scientific self-efficacy was and important cognitive factor mediating the educational and occupational choice behaviors of men.
