Abstract

Due to the low social recognition of secondary vocational school students, secondary vocational school students have become synonymous with "those who failed in the senior high school entrance examination". This stigma often makes them feel discriminated against, which leads to discrimination consciousness. From the perspective of secondary vocational school students' discrimination perception, this paper aims to explore the relationship between secondary vocational school students' discrimination perception and their career planning ability, and the intermediary role of the sense of meaning of life. The results show that discrimination perception can negatively predict the career planning ability of secondary school students. Through the group counseling of secondary school students with high discrimination perception, the career planning ability of secondary school students can be significantly improved.
