Abstract

Career exploration is a critical developmental task during adolescence; however, many junior high school students lack access to effective tools that accurately identify their vocational interests, thereby limiting informed career decision-making. This study addresses the gap by developing the Vocational Interest Scale, grounded in Holland’s RIASEC model, to support career exploration among junior high school students and establish a standardized framework extendable to senior high and vocational school students for higher education guidance. Employing a research and development methodology, the study encompassed a theoretical review of vocational interest constructs and previous instruments, instrument design with expert evaluations, pilot testing, and psychometric validation. The resultant 24-item scale, which measures the six RIASEC domains—Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional—was validated via Confirmatory Factor Analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (LISREL 8.80). Results demonstrated strong factor loadings (0.61–0.89), construct reliability of 0.80, and excellent model fit indices (RMSEA = 0.039), confirming the scale’s validity and reliability. This instrument effectively supports students’ career decision-making based on vocational interests and shows potential generalizability across secondary education levels, thus filling a critical gap in vocational assessment and enhancing career guidance practices for adolescents.

Abstract

Digital technology has had a significant impact on adolescent behavior, including the increasing prevalence of internet addiction. This study aimed to examine the influence of adolescents’ attachment to their mothers and fathers on the level of internet addiction. Parental attachment is a crucial aspect of adolescent psychosocial development that can affect patterns of internet use. A quantitative survey method was employed, involving X adolescent respondents aged 14 to 18 years, selected using purposive sampling. The instruments used in this study were the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA) and the Internet Addiction Test (IAT). Based on the results of the analysis, this study concludes that parental attachment has a statistically significant relationship but does not have a practically significant effect on internet addiction in adolescents. These findings suggest that internet addiction in adolescents is influenced by various complex factors beyond the dynamics of family relationships, such as peer pressure and the influence of the digital environment. Therefore, it is essential for researchers and practitioners to develop more comprehensive intervention approaches that incorporate broader social environments and relevant psychological factors to support adolescents in managing healthy internet use.
