Self-Other Decision-Making Differences in Subject Selection of the New College Entrance Examination Reform:the Mediating Role of Responsibility
Based on a sample of 883 first-year senior high school students in Y city,X province,this study investigated the self-other decision-making differences in subject selection of the new college entrance examination reform,as well as the role of responsibility in such differences.Our findings revealed that self-other decision-making differences exist in subject selection of the new college entrance examination reform,and responsibility was identified as a mediating factor in such differences;students perceived less responsibility in selecting subjects for others than in selecting subjects for the self and were more inclined to choose high-interest and high-difficulty subjects for others;and students perceived more responsibility in selecting subjects for the self and were more inclined to choose low-interest and low-difficulty subjects for themselves.Therefore,all sectors of society,especially schools and parents,should deeply understand the current situation of senior high school students'subject selection,establish a"long-term"subject selection orientation,and pay attention to the exploration of interest and potential;scientifically understand the responsibility of selecting subjects,all parties cooperate to help students choose subjects reasonably;face up to self-other selection division differences,and focus on optimizing selection decisions.
