Although studies have focused on identifying the association between family-related factors (e.g., family relationship quality) and youth's career decision-making self-efficacy, additional empirical evidence is necessary to clarify the potential factors influencing the connection between family relationship quality and youth's career decision-making self-efficacy. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of youth's perceived levels of family relationship quality on their career decision-making self-efficacy and the mediating role of their positive decision-making skills among 425 youth participants in a southeastern region of the United States. The authors of this study conducted a mediation analysis using longitudinal data at two different time points in order to investigate the mediating effect of youth's positive decision-making skills. Results indicated that family relationship quality did not have a direct association with youth's career decision-making self-efficacy. Instead, youth's positive decision-making skills had a full mediating effect on the association between the quality of youth-family member relationships and their self-efficacy for career decision-making. Implications for family life educators, researchers of youth career development, and family counselors are discussed.

家庭关系质量对青少年职业决策自我效能感的影响：青少年积极决策能力的中介作用

尽管研究的重点是确定家庭相关因素（例如家庭关系质量）与青少年职业决策自我效能感之间的关联，但还需要更多的实证证据来阐明影响家庭关系质量与青少年职业之间联系的潜在因素。决策自我效能感。本研究旨在调查美国东南部地区 425 名青年参与者的家庭关系质量感知水平对其职业决策自我效能的影响以及积极决策技能的中介作用。本研究的作者利用两个不同时间点的纵向数据进行了中介分析，以探讨青少年积极决策技能的中介作用。结果表明，家庭关系质量与青少年职业决策自我效能感没有直接关系。相反，青年的积极决策技能对青年家庭成员关系质量与其职业决策自我效能之间的关系具有充分的中介作用。讨论了对家庭生活教育者、青少年职业发展研究人员和家庭咨询师的影响。
