Based on the theory of planned behavior(TPB)and social cognitive career theory(SCCT),an extended TPB model of college graduates'seclusion intention was constructed by introducing self-esteem and ca-reer self-efficacy.According to the questionnaire and data analysis of 521 college graduates,it was found that self-esteem and career self-efficacy significantly increased the predictive effects of attitudes,subjec-tive norms,and perceived behavioral control on col-lege graduates'seclusion intentions;among these variables,college graduates'subjective norms and at-titudes toward seclusion were the main predictors of seclusion intentions.In addition,the effect of self-esteem on seclusion intention was significantly higher among male than female college graduates.Results suggested that the extended TPB model can reveal the mechanism of college graduates'seclusion,and it is useful for promoting the employment of se-cluded college students.
