Abstract
Objective: To explore the current status of career maturity among undergraduate students majoring in clinical medicine and examine the relationship between professional commitment and expectations of emotional intelligence. Methods: The study employed the Career Maturity Scale for Undergraduates, Professional Commitment Scale, and Emotional Intelligence Scale to investigate 423 undergraduates majoring in clinical medicine. Results: Gender, grade level, and being an only child were found to affect the career maturity of these students. Furthermore, professional commitment and emotional intelligence were significantly and positively correlated with career maturity (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Professional commitment and emotional intelligence are identified as positive predictors of career maturity among undergraduates majoring in clinical medicine.
