Abstract

This study changes in career maturity and identified predictive factors from the first year of middle school to the initial year of high school. In the study, DELS 2017 data(N=1,795) was analyzed using a potential growth model. The findings are as hollows: First, career maturity decreased until the second year of middle school, but then increased from the third year of middle school. Second, self-esteem, academic efficacy, school satisfaction, peer relationships, and parent-child relationships emerged as predictors of career maturity. Third, school environment had a simultaneous effect in the first year of high school, while happiness had a simultaneous effect from the first year of middle school to the first year of high school. Additionally, both school environment and happiness showed a delayed effect in the third year of middle school. It becomes apparent that happiness during the third year of middle school has a tangible and delayed effect.
