Creator
Miller, Adam, Osborn, Debra S., Sampson, James, Peterson, Gary, Reardon, Robert
Abstract/Description
The college experience for many students is marked by challenges and concerns surrounding educational and career choices. These challenges and concerns may be reflected in a student’s career decision state, or the extent that one is certain, satisfied, and clear about one’s career goals. This study examines students’ career decision states at the beginning and at the end of a career course intervention. The article concludes with a discussion of the implications of the findings for further...

Abstract/Description
The aim of this study was to examine the adaptation versus adoption of the Career Thoughts Inventory (CTI, Sampson, Peterson, Lenz, Reardon, & Saunders, 1996a) outside the U.S. as a measure readiness for career decision-making. A sample of Finnish polytechnic students (N = 666) completed a Finnish-language version of the CTI. A principle components analysis identified three components: Decision-Making Confusion, Commitment Anxiety, and External Conflict. The results were in accordance with...
Show moreThe aim of this study was to examine the adaptation versus adoption of the Career Thoughts Inventory (CTI, Sampson, Peterson, Lenz, Reardon, & Saunders, 1996a) outside the U.S. as a measure readiness for career decision-making. A sample of Finnish polytechnic students (N = 666) completed a Finnish-language version of the CTI. A principle components analysis identified three components: Decision-Making Confusion, Commitment Anxiety, and External Conflict. The results were in accordance with the findings of the U.S. validation studies. The three-factor model explained 36.97% of the total variance. Given the Finnish translation of the CTI, the factor structure and reliability coefficients supported the construct validity of CTI scores and partial structural equivalence was observed. The results demonstrated that it would be appropriate to adapt, not to adopt, the CTI based on CIP theory to the Finnish context. Before implementation of the Finnish CTI in practice, certain modifications in items and scales are warranted.
