摘要: 为探讨上行社会比较与大学生就业焦虑的关系，以及核心自我评价和成长型思维在其中的作用机制，采用上行社会比较量表、核心自我评价量表、成长型思维量表和就业焦虑量表对603名在校大学生进行问卷调查。结果表明：1) 上行社会比较与就业焦虑呈显著正相关关系；核心自我评价与上行社会比较、就业焦虑呈显著负相关；2) 核心自我评价在上行社会比较与就业焦虑间起中介作用；3) 成长型思维显著正向调节了上行社会比较→核心自我评价→就业焦虑这一中介过程的前半段路径。该结论为核心自我评价在上行社会比较与就业焦虑间的中介作用及成长型思维在上行社会比较与核心自我评价间的调节作用提供了可能解释模型。
Abstract: To explore the relationship between upward social comparison and university students’ employment anxiety, as well as the roles of core self-evaluation and a growth mindset in this relationship, a questionnaire survey was conducted with 603 university students using the Upward Social Comparison Scale, Core Self-Evaluation Scale, Growth Mindset Scale, and Employment Anxiety Scale. The results indicated that: 1) Upward social comparison was significantly positively correlated with employment anxiety, while core self-evaluation was significantly negatively correlated with both upward social comparison and employment anxiety; 2) Core self-evaluation mediated the relationship between upward social comparison and employment anxiety; 3) A growth mindset significantly positively moderated the first half of the mediating pathway from upward social comparison → core self-evaluation → employment anxiety. This conclusion provides a possible explanatory model for the mediating role of core self-evaluation between upward social comparison and employment anxiety, as well as the moderating role of a growth mindset between upward social comparison and core self-evaluation.
