ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the mediation role of university graduates' core self-evaluation played between perfectionism and job-selecting anxiety.Methods 200 university graduates were investigated by Chinese frost multidimensional perfectionism questionnaires,core self-evaluation scale and self-rating anxiety scale with convenience sampling method.Results ①Job-selecting anxiety had no distinct differences in gender,residence and the aspects of only-child(P＞0.05),but in different subjects,it was different(science and technology(1.79±0.49),culture and history(3.21±0.50),t=-4.38,P＜0.01).② University graduates' positive perfectionism was positively correlated with core self-evaluation (r=0.31,P＜ 0.01),while negatively correlated with job-selecting anxiety (r=-0.35,P＜0.01).University graduates' negative perfectionism was negatively correlated with core self-evaluation(r =-0.35,P＜ 0.01),while positively correlated with job-selecting anxiety (r =0.42,P＜ 0.01).Simultaneously core self-evaluation was negatively correlated with job-selecting anxiety (r=-0.46,P＜ 0.01).③ Core self-evaluation played a part of the intermediary role between negative perfectionism and job-selecting anxiety.The mediating effect was 30.0％ of the total effect.Core self-evaluation played a part of the intermediary role between positive perfectionism and job-selecting anxiety.The mediating effect was 34.5％ of the total effect.Conclusion Perfectionism as a personality trait can calculate the level of job-selecting anxiety.Core self-evaluation plays a part of the intermediary role between perfectionism and job-selecting anxiety.It is helpful to the working tactics of university graduates.
