AB - This study examined the mediating effects of self-esteem and fear of negative evaluation on the relationship between social comparison orientation and career indecision. A total of 200 university students (men=80, women=120) responded to the survey packet including measures of social comparison orientation, self-esteem, fear of negative evaluation and career indecision scales. The data was analyzed using SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 18.0. The results of this study were as follows: First, correlation analysis revealed that social comparison orientation, self-esteem, fear of negative evaluation, and career indecision have correlations. Second, The measurement model yielded evidence of good fit. Third, the analyses of the structural equation modeling supported the indirect pathways of self-esteem and fear of negative evaluation, which plays the mediating role of self-esteem and fear of negative evaluation regarding the relationship between social comparison orientation and career indecision. High social comparison orientation and low self-esteem then led to greater career indecision. High social comparison orientation and high fear of negative evaluation also led to greater career indecision. Also, Low self-esteem led to high fear of negative evaluation. However, the analyses of the structural model did not support the direct pathways from social comparison orientation to career indecision. Implication and limitation of the study were discussed along with some suggestions for future researches and psychotherapy practice.
