Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify causal relationships by establishing a structural equation model with father and mother support as independent variables and achievement motivation as a mediating variable in order to determine the decisiveness of career attitudes among high school seniors from multicultural families. The subjects and data of this study were the 9th year longitudinal data of the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study (MAPS) established by the Korea Youth Policy Institute. The subjects of this panel's investigation were 1,102 third-year students from a multicultural high school, and frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis and correlation analysis were conducted using the SPSS 26.0 statistical program. And the structural equation model was verified with the AMOS 26.0 statistical program to verify the measurement model confirmation step, path model step, and mediation effect.
 The results of this study are as follows.
 First, father support was found to have no statistically significant effect on career attitude determination. Second, mother's support was found to have no statistically significant effect on career attitude determination. Third, achievement motivation had a statistically significant direct effect on career attitude determination. Fourth, father's support had a statistically significant effect on career attitude determination. Fifth, mother's support had a statistically significant effect on career attitude determination. Sixth, a complete mediating effect was found between father's support and career attitude determination mediated by achievement motivation. Seventh, a complete mediating effect was found between mother's support and career attitude determination mediated by achievement motivation.
 For third-year high school students from multicultural families, it is a very important factor to determine their career attitude to some extent as they are preparing to enter college or enter society. Since achievement motivation was confirmed to be the most important factor in determining career attitude, policy and practical measures to revitalize it were presented as implications.
