Abstract
AbstractThe current study examined the relationship between gender discrimination and a form of career decision‐making difficulties: emotional and personality‐related career decision‐making difficulties among female Chinese college students. It further examined the buffering effect of coping styles on the above relationship. A series of hierarchical regression analyses were conducted on a sample of 1427 female Chinese college students from 19 universities located in different regions in China. Results indicated that only suppressive style of coping served as a buffer on the relationship between gender discrimination and career decision‐making difficulties. Also, gender discrimination, reflective style of coping, and reactive style of coping were positively associated with career decision‐making difficulties. These results supported the need to develop career interventions focusing on discussion of gender discrimination, its impact on one's career decisions, as well as teaching distraction coping strategies in reducing the negative impact of gender discrimination on career decision‐making difficulties among female Chinese college students.
