Korean young adults are exposed to higher career stress than ever before, and such stress exerts a negative impact on mental health outcomes. The present study aimed to understand the mediating effect of career stress on the relationship between socially prescribed perfectionism and mental health using a sample of 420 Korean college students. The present study also investigated the moderating role of mindfulness in the mediated pathways across gender groups. This study's results showed that there are considerable gender differences in this relationship. Career stress significantly mediates the relationship between socially prescribed perfectionism and depression and life satisfaction only for females. Study findings also indicated that the moderating effect of mindfulness was more remarkable for female students than for male students. Implications and future directions are discussed.
韩国的年轻成年人比以往任何时候都面临更高的职业压力，这种压力对心理健康产生负面影响。本研究旨在通过对 420 名韩国大学生的样本，了解职业压力对社会指定完美主义与心理健康之间关系的中介作用。本研究还探讨了正念在性别群体中介导途径中的调节作用。研究结果表明，这种关系存在显著的性别差异。对于女性来说，职业压力显著中介了社会指定完美主义与抑郁和生活满意度之间的关系。研究结果还表明，对于女学生来说，正念的调节作用比男学生更为显著。讨论了研究结果的意义和未来的研究方向。
