This study tested the hypothesis that positive career orientation can prevent adolescents from engaging in or escalating problem behaviour. A 1-year, longitudinal study was conducted on a sample of 234 junior-high and high-school students, who were 14.8 years old on the average in the beginning of the study. Using structural equation modeling, a developmental, two-wave, two-factor empirical model corresponding to the predicted relationships between career orientation and problem behaviour was found to fit the data well. According to the fitted model, positive career orientation had a significant negative longitudinal effect on problem behaviour. In contrast, we found no evidence in support of the assumption that career orientation can be affected by problematic behavioural tendencies.
积极的职业取向能够防止青少年出现问题行为或使问题行为升级。对234名初中生和高中生进行了为期1年的纵向研究，这些学生在研究开始时平均年龄为14.8岁。使用结构方程模型，发现一个与职业取向和问题行为之间预测关系相对应的发展性、两波、两因素实证模型与数据拟合良好。根据拟合模型，积极的职业取向对问题行为具有显著的纵向负效应。相比之下，我们没有发现证据支持职业取向会受到问题行为倾向影响这一假设。
