Özet

Middle school years are when young people need environmental support for career development. In this context, parents play an essential role in the career development of young people. The sample of the study consisted of 368 middle school students (236 girls, 132 boys). The model of the mediating role of self-oriented perfectionism between parental support and career development in middle school students was tested. Participants completed self-report data collection tools to assess career development, career-related parental support, and perfectionism. As a result of the analyses in which the structural equation model was used, it was determined that the model showed a good fit. In addition, self-oriented perfectionism has a mediating role in the relationship between parental support and career development. These results are thought to be essential for the guidance services to be applied in career development.
