This paper studied the career experiences of emerging adults amid the pandemic and how they make sense of their career identities during this time. Twenty Indian Emerging adults (18-25 years) wrote narratives about their career stories during the pandemic. Using thematic analysis, three key themes of (1) Perceived Impact of Pandemic Crisis on Career Identity, (2) Positive Meaning-Making of Career Identity amid the Crises, and (3) Negative Meaning-Making of Career Identity amid the Crises were identified. The study concluded that despite the negative impact of Covid-19 on career experiences, most emerging adults cognitively reframed negative experiences as positive.
本文研究了疫情期间新兴成年人的职业经历,以及他们在此期间如何理解自己的职业身份。20名印度新兴成年人(18至25岁)撰写了关于他们在疫情期间职业经历的叙述。通过主题分析,确定了三个关键主题:(1)疫情危机对职业身份的感知影响;(2)危机期间职业身份的积极意义建构;(3)危机期间职业身份的消极意义建构。研究得出结论,尽管新冠疫情对职业经历有负面影响,但大多数新兴成年人在认知上把负面经历重新建构为积极的。
