The Impact of Future Work Self on College Students’ Social Adaptability: The Mediating Role of Social Discrimination and the Moderating Role of Gender

为探讨社会歧视在未来工作自我与大学生社会适应能力间的中介作用以及性别的调节作用，采用问卷法对571名大学生进行调查。结果发现：1) 大学生未来工作自我、社会歧视以及社会适应能力之间存在显著的相关。未来工作自我能够正向预测社会适应能力，社会歧视能负向预测大学生未来工作自我和社会适应能力。2) 社会歧视在大学生未来工作自我和社会适应能力之间起部分中介作用。3) 性别对中介效应的后半段起到调节作用，在女大学生群体中，社会歧视对社会适应能力的负向预测作用更大。研究有助于了解未来工作自我对大学生社会适应能力的影响机制，对提高大学生社会适应能力具有一定的现实意义。In order to explore the mediating role of social discrimination between future work self and college students’ social adaptability and the moderating role of gender, 571 college students were investigated by questionnaire. The results show that: 1) There is a significant correlation among college students’ future work self, social discrimination and social adaptability. Future work self can positively predict social adaptability, while social discrimination can negatively predict college students’ future work self and social adaptability. 2) Social discrimination plays a partial mediating role between college students’ future work self and social adaptability. 3) Gender plays a moderating role in the second half of the mediating effect. Among female college students, social discrimination has a greater negative predictive effect on social adaptability. The research is helpful to understand the influence mechanism of future work self on college students’ social adaptability, and has certain practical significance to improve college students’ social adaptability.
