Abstract

The present study employed a multidimensional vocational identity model to classify college students into six vocational identity statuses (achievement, moratorium, searching moratorium, foreclosure, diffusion, and undifferentiated) and investigated how career compromise patterns differ among the statuses. Participant were asked to respond to self-report measures that assess the vocational identity, the status of career compromise, the level of career compromise, and the value discrepancies between ideal and present career goals. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0 for k-means cluster analysis, chi-square test, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA), and Bonferroni post-hoc test. Prior to the main analyses, participants were divided into six vocational identity status groups based on the Vocational Identity Status Assessment. The main results of the study are as follows. First, the status of career compromise was not significantly different among identity status groups. Second, the level of career compromise was significantly different among identity status groups. Post-hoc analyses showed that the level of career compromise of the achievement status was lower than that of undifferentiated and moratorium statuses, and career compromise level of foreclosure, searching moratorium statuses was lower than that of diffusion. Third, group differences of internal value discrepancy were found significant. The results of discrepancies in career values showed that the achievement status was the only status with the internal values of present career goals higher than that of ideal career goals (+), while moratorium and undifferentiated statuses had the highest internal value discrepancy scores (-). This study is meaningful in that it examined the differences between internal and external values among identity statuses, while looking at vocational identity and career compromise as multidimensional factors. Limitations of the study and the discussion of possible future research are proposed.
