Abstract

Assessing the causes of career indecision is among the first steps in career counseling. Gati et al. (1996) proposed a multidimensional taxonomy of career indecision and developed the Career Decision-Making Difficulties Questionnaire (CDDQ), consisting of 10 scales that cohere into three higher-order clusters and a total score. However, studies investigating the CDDQ reported cross-cultural variations in its factor structure. To examine the cross-cultural generalizability of the CDDQ, we compared four alternative factor models using data from 39 diverse samples from 13 countries with nine language versions (N = 19,562). Using weighted least squares mean- and variance-adjusted estimation, a robust estimator for nonnormal data, comparison of fit indices supported the original CDDQ structure across countries and languages. These findings support the cross-cultural generalizability of the structure of the CDDQ and the use of 10 scale scores, three cluster scores, and a total score, consistent with the taxonomy underlying the CDDQ.

13个国家职业决策困难问卷的结构
评估职业优柔寡断的原因是职业咨询的第一步。Gati等(1996)提出了职业优柔寡断的多维分类,并编制了职业决策困难问卷(career decision - decision Difficulties Questionnaire, CDDQ),该问卷由10个量表组成,分为3个高阶聚类和总分。然而,调查CDDQ的研究报告了其因素结构的跨文化差异。为了检验CDDQ的跨文化普遍性,我们使用来自13个国家、9种语言版本(N = 19,562)的39个不同样本的数据,比较了四种替代因素模型。使用加权最小二乘均值和方差调整估计(一种非正态数据的稳健估计器),拟合指数的比较支持不同国家和语言的原始CDDQ结构。这些发现支持了CDDQ结构的跨文化概括性,并使用了10个量表得分、3个聚类得分和一个总分,与CDDQ的分类一致。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Career Assessment publishes methodologically sound, empirically based studies focusing on the process and techniques by which counselors and others gain understanding of the individual faced with the necessity of making informed career decisions. The term career assessment, as used in this journal, covers the various techniques, tests, inventories, rating scales, interview schedules, surveys, and direct observational methods used in scientifically based practice and research to provide an improved understanding of career decision-making. The focus is not just testing, but all those means developed and used to assess and evaluate individuals and environments in the field of career counseling and development.
