Basic Confidence Predictors of Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy
Paulsen, Alisa M.; Betz, Nancy E.
Career Development Quarterly, v52 n4 p354-362 Jun 2004
The extent to which Basic Confidence Scales predicted career decision-making self-efficacy was studied in a sample of 627 undergraduate students. Six confidence variables accounted for 49% of the variance in career decision-making self-efficacy. Leadership confidence was the most important, but confidence in science, mathematics, writing, using technology, and cultural sensitivity all contributed significant incremental variance. There were some differences as a function of race and gender, but leadership confidence was the most significant predictor in all subgroups. Implications for educational and career counseling are discussed in this article. (Contains 2 tables.)
