Career Decision-Making Profiles vs. Styles: Convergent and Incremental Validity
Gati, Itamar; Gadassi, Reuma; Mashiah-Cohen, Rona
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v81 n1 p2-16 Aug 2012
The present research investigated the convergent and incremental validity of the multidimensional model and questionnaire--the Career Decision-Making Profiles ("CDMP," Gati, Landman, Davidovitch, Peretz-Asulin, & Gadassi, 2010)--by comparing it to two prevalent decision-making style models. Study 1 compared the "CDMP" to the Vocational Decision Style Indicator ("VDSI," Walsh, 1986) using a sample of 423 young adults. Study 2 compared the "CDMP" to the General Decision-Making Style inventory ("GDMS"; Scott & Bruce, 1995; based on Harren, 1979) using a sample of 427 individuals. The results of Studies 1 and 2 supported the convergent validity of the "CDMP." Moreover, the results supported the advantage of the "CDMP" over the "VDSI" in predicting individuals' stages in the career decision-making process. (Contains 5 tables.)
