Methods: 193 grade 5 to 6 primary school students were examined by the Self-supporting Behavior Questionnaire for 6 to 12 Years Old Children and Adult Attachment Questionnaire (AAQ 3.1); and then the subjects were divided into two groups, of which the high-self-supporting group included the top 27% according to the self-supporting behavior questionnaire total score, and the low-self-supporting group included the bottom 27%. Results: ①The low-self-supporting group got significantly higher score in mother negative loving, father negative loving, mother rejecting, father rejecting, mother anger and father anger subscales than the highself-supporting group; ②The children’s self-supporting behaviors were negatively correlated with mother negative loving, father negative loving, mother rejecting, father rejecting, mother anger and father anger.

Results: ①Sub-factors of career maturity and work value can predict adaptation status, including job satisfaciotn, turnover intention, role ambiguity and role conflict; ②Work value dimension of Reputation, performance after 3 months of joining the company, role ambiguity can significantly predict performance after one year. Conclusion: Newly graduated employees’ work value, career maturity can be predicted by adaptation status and job performance. Further follow-up studies are need for the influence of long-term work.
4.A Structural Equation Modeling of Perceived Academic Self-efficacy, Learning Stress, and Learning Burnout of High School Students
Chinese Journal of Clinical Psychology 2006;0(05):-
Objective: To build a relationship model of perceived academic self-efficacy, learning stress, and learning burnout of high school students. Methods: 674 high school students were surveyed with Learning Stress Scale of High School Students, The Perceived Academic Self -efficacy Scale, Scale of Learning Burnout of High School Students. Results: Learning stress had a direct effect on a low level of learning efficacy, perceived alienation to teacher and physical exhaustion (The direct effect value were -0.22,0.12,0.27). At the same time, perceived basic ability and perceived control partially mediated the impact of learning stress on the low level of learning efficacy, perceived alienation to teacher and physical exhaustion (the mediated effect value were -0.155 and-0.264, 0.066 and 0.299, 0.089 and 0.233). Perceived basic ability and perceived control fully mediated the relationship between learning stress and emotional exhaustion (the mediated effect value were 0.033 and 0.387). Conclusion: The students with a higher level of stress reported suffering more learning burnout than those with a lower level of stress, and vice versa.
