Abstract

Objectives TThis study verified the relationship between adolescents' school adjustment and career maturity using theautoregressive cross-lagged model based on longitudinal data. Through this, the mutual causal relationship of longitudinal data can be confirmed. Methods To this end, the autoregressive cross-delay model was used. This model is a method of further clarifying the theoretical relationship between variables by verifying the autoregressive and cross-delay effects for variables that are difficult to be sure of causal relationships. The target was data tracked every year for five years from 2016 to 2020 for the first year of BELS Middle School in Busan. The subjects of the study were 1,304 male students and 1,107 female students, with a total of 2,411 female students. Results First, school adjustment and career maturity at the previous point were found to have an effect on school adaptation and career maturity at the later point in a static direction, respectively. Second, career maturity at the previous point was found to have no significant effect on school adjustment at the later point. As a result, it was confirmed that the effect of career maturity on school adjustment in adolescence was not maintained over time. Third, school at the adjustment previous point was found to have an effect on career maturity at the later point in a static direction. As a result, it was confirmed that the effect of school adjustment on career maturity in adolescence remained stable over time. Conclusions The causal relationship was confirmed that school adjustment had a positive effect on career maturity in a positive direction. Through this, the importance of actively improving school adjustment can be emphasized and used as basic data to help practical intervention to improve school adjustment
