The Relationship Of College Students' Self-Supporting Personality And Career Exploring Behavior

In order to seek effective ways to improve university and college students'career exploring behavior, the paper focuses on the effects of self-supporting personality on career exploring behavior. Using the College students questionnaire of Self-Supporting Personality Scale(SSPS-AS) and the behavior questionnaire of the revised Careeer Exploration Scale, we investigated 730 college students in fuzhou.Through descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and regression analysis, it proved the results as follows:1. Generally, the level of students'self-supporting personality is high, but their interpersonal activeness and personal flexibility do not reach the level we expected.The girls do much better in interpersonal openness,personal independense and flexibility than boys. Students of Arts do much better in interpersonal openness,personal flexibility and personal openness than students of science and engineering. Students from rural areas are obviously better in personal independense. Compared with Freshmen, sophomores and seniors do worse in personal responsibilities, sophomores and juniors do worse in personal flexibilities, sophomores,juniors and seniors are all worse in interpersonal openness. Seniors do better than juniors in personal initiatives.2. College Students are best at self-exploration, better at goal-focusing. However, they get low points in getting information,exploring environment and systemic exploration. Boys do better than girls in getting information,exploring environment,systemic exploration and self-exploration,while girls are better at goal-focusing, students of Arts are better at the same way. But their behaviors to expolre environment were significantly lower than those of science and engineering students.There is no difference in career exploring behavior between Urban and rural students. In getting information,goal-focusing,exploring environment and systemic exploration, seniors get significantly higher scores than the freshmen and sophomore students. In addition to goal-focusing, there is no difference between seniors and Juniors.3. The level of students'Self-Supporting Personality is inherently related to career exploring behavior. It can predict career exploring behavior.The level of students' self-supporting personality plays the more important role obviously in getting information,exploring the system and environment than goal-focusing; Interpersonal initiatives and personal initiatives plays the most important role for career exploring behavior, while the dimension of self-openness is not ralated to.
