The purpose of this study was to examine how 2 forms of self‐focused attention, self‐reflection and self‐rumination, influence career anxiety. The authors hypothesized that the association between these 2 types of self‐focused attention and career anxiety would be mediated by career adaptability on the basis of a career construction model of adaptation. The participants were 326 undergraduate students in South Korea. The results of this study supported the hypothesized mediation model by indicating significant indirect effects of self‐reflection and self‐rumination on career anxiety via career adaptability. The direct effect of self‐rumination on career anxiety was significant (B = .44, p < .01), but the direct effect of self‐reflection on career anxiety was not significant (B = –.05, p > .05). The authors discuss implications for counselors to help college students manage career anxiety by encouraging and supporting increased career adaptability. Future research to examine the cross‐cultural validity of the current findings is needed.

自我关注和职业焦虑：职业适应性的中介作用

这项研究的目的是检验两种形式的自我关注，自我反思和反省如何影响职业焦虑。作者假设，在适应的职业建设模型的基础上，这两种类型的自我关注和职业焦虑之间的联系将由职业适应性来介导。参加者是韩国的326名本科生。这项研究的结果通过表明自我反思和自我反省通过职业适应性对职业焦虑的显着间接影响，为假设的调解模型提供了支持。自我反省对职业焦虑的直接影响是显着的（B = .44，p <.01），但是自我反省对职业焦虑的直接影响不显着（B = –.05，p > .05）。作者讨论了辅导员通过鼓励和支持增强的职业适应性来帮助大学生解决职业焦虑的意义。需要进行进一步的研究以检验当前发现的跨文化有效性。
