Predicting Career Indecision in College Students: The Roles of Identity Formation and Parental Relationship Factors.

Guerra, Antonia L.; Braungart-Rieker, Julia M.

Career Development Quarterly, v47 n3 p255-66 Mar 1999

Investigates students' identity formation and perceptions of parental acceptance and encouragement of independence as predictors of career indecision. Four measurements were administered to 169 undergraduate students for the study. Results show career indecision was predicted by higher identity moratorium, less maternal acceptance, and fewer years in college. (Author/GCP)
