摘要

This study examined how depressive symptoms predict and co-develop with ambivalence in career decision making (ACDM) during early adolescence. A sample of 428 students (Mage = 12.04) completed measures of depressive symptoms and ACDM across three six-month intervals. Cross-lagged analyses showed that earlier depressive symptoms predicted later ACDM, but not vice versa. Parallel growth modeling revealed that higher initial levels of depressive symptoms and steeper increases in depressive symptoms were associated with greater growth in ACDM. These findings suggest an asymmetric temporal association between depressive symptoms and vocational ambivalence and underscore the importance of considering adolescents’ emotional functioning when understanding career decision-making processes.
