Abstract

Reports that the results of concurrent and discriminant validity studies, based on data from 92 undergraduates, only partially support the construct validity of the Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale (CDMSE); the use of individual subscales also proved uncertain. Criterion variables included scores on the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the A-Trait scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Career Decision Scale. Findings suggest that the CDMSE is more a measure of generalized self-efficacy rather than of self-efficacy expectations for specific career decision-making skills.
