ABSTRACT = {The aim of the study was to explore the relationship between college graduates’ dual self-consciousness, job search
clarity and perceived stress, and reveal the mediating role of perceived stress between dual self-consciousness and
job search clarity. In this study, 467 college graduates were investigated using the Dual Self-Consciousness Scale,
Job Search Clarity Scale, and Perceived Stress Scale. After controlling for gender, age, and region, the results
revealed that: (1) private self-consciousness has a significant positive predictive effect on job search clarity; (2)
perceived stress has a significant negative predictive effect on job search clarity; (3) perceived stress plays partial
mediation effects between private self-consciousness and job search clarity; (4) perceived stress plays complete
mediation effects between public self-consciousness and job search clarity; (5) perceived stress has suppressing
effects between public self-consciousness and job search clarity.},
