Using a purposive sampling technique, the study involved 218 High School (SMA) students and 124 Vocational High School (SMK) students in Salatiga, Indonesia. The measurement instruments used in the research were the career adaptability scale, grit scale, and parent-child communication scale. The results show that the R-value was 0.595 and the adjusted R squared (R2) value was 0.354. The significance value generated from the regression test was 0.000 (p0.05). Based on the calculation results, it can be concluded that grit and communication between parents and children together play a significant role in career adaptability.

Abstract Background Long-term absence of parents has been proven to lead to negative health outcomes on left-behind children (LBC). We saw numerous studies that explored the association of parental absence with mental health and risky behaviors among LBC. Recently, Internet addiction has emerged as a growing concern, however, it was seldom studied among LBC community. This study aimed to compare the prevalence of Internet addiction between LBC and non-left-behind children (non-LBC), and explore the role of paternal and maternal parent-child communication on LBC. Methods We conducted a questionnaire survey in rural areas in Anhui, China, including the Parent-Adolescent Communication Scale and Young’s Internet addiction Test. LBC who reported both migrating parents and children who lived with both non-migrating parents were included in this study. Results The complete data were available from 699 LBC and 740 non-LBC. After adjustment of social-demographic characteristics, the result indicated LBC had a higher likelihood to report internet-addiction when compared to non-LBC (OR = 2.03, 95%CI = 1.43–2.88, p < 0.001). Among LBC, parent-child communication (both mother-child and father-child) was protective factors for children’s Internet addiction. Also, the role of mother-child communication played well in preventing boys from Internet addiction. Conclusions Our findings suggested the lack of parental supervision may lead to Internet addiction. It is highly recommended for migrant parents to improve the quality of communication with their children. Also, gender-matching effects should be considered in the relationship between children’s behavior and parental factors.
