Abstract

The purpose of this research is to find out how the attitude of parents' child-rearing perceived by college students and their achievement goals affect career decisions. I came to suggest in this research which type of child-rearing attitude of parents is reasonable to their children in deciding their own careers. The child-rearing attitude of parents is classified into four groups; acceptance, rejection. autonomy, and control. Achievement goal is classified into mastery goal, performance approach goal, performance avoidance goal. Career decision level is classified into decision-making style, and career indecision. The main topics of this research are as follows; (1) What is the relation between the child-rearing attitude of parents and their children's achievement goal? (2) What is the relation between the child-rearing attitude of parents and career decision? For this research, 270 college students were selected as samples. The analysis of the questionnaire is summarized as follows; This research concludes that the child's mastery goal is increased when he or she recognizes his/her father has autonomy attitude and mother has acceptance attitude, and the child's performance approach goal is increased when the child recognizes that his/her mother has acceptance attitude or control attitude. The child's performance avoidance goal is increased when the child recognizes that his/her father has acceptance attitude or control attitude. Decision-making style increased when parents' acceptance attitude or autonomy attitude were recognized. Career indecision increased when parents' rejection attitude or control attitude were recognized.
