As a major evaluating standard andresearch method of occupational psychological development, occupational maturity isconductive to analyze the present situation and level of students’vocational preparations, cleardevelopment goals of individual occupation, and then promote the development standard ofyouth occupation in our country. On the basis of the summary and analysis of relevanttheories and researches at home and abroad, this paper surveyed1004students from normaluniversities to analyze the relations between occupation possible selves, achievementmotivation and teachers’ occupational maturity through descriptive statistics, varianceanalysis and other critical path methods. The purpose is to discuss the application anddevelopment of occupation possible selves in vocational field, and its influence on teachers’occupational maturity together with achievement motivation.

Failure motivation isavoided to show significant negative relation with occupational possible selves and fearoneself, while show no relation with expected selves; while others are of pairwise correlations;occupational possible selves and teacher’s career maturity of normal school students are of significant positive relation, and the former one is of significant positive relation withoccupational attitude and its the intrinsic as well as its external orientation; achievementmotivation and all its dimensions, teachers’ occupational maturity and all its dimensions,except the insignificant relation between failure and teachers’ occupational maturity, are ofsignificant relations with each other.(5) Occupational possible selves and achievement motivation are of significant positivepredication to teachers’ career maturity of normal school students separately; achievementmotivation serves as a complete intermediary between occupational possible selves andteachers’ career maturity of normal school students; and it serves a part intermediary betweenoccupational possible selves and occupational attitudes; and it is of no significantintermediary between occupational possible selves and occupational competence.
