Abstract: Based on questionnaire method, 676 college students were used as participants to explore the relationship of socioeconomic status, parental rearing behaviors and career exploration. Results: (1) Family's socioeconomic status had significantly positive correlations with self-exploration, environment-exploration, self-environment matching exploration, and exploration intention. (2) Parental rearing behaviors had direct effects on career exploration. Parental emotional warmth, maternal intervention, and paternal intervention had positive effects, while paternal punishment had negative effects.(3)Family's socioeconomic status predicted career exploration directly and indirectly. Parental rearing behaviors, especially maternal emotional warmth and maternal intervention, served as mediator in SES and career exploration.

Key words: college students, family’s socioeconomic status, parental rearing behaviors, career exploration
