Validation of Korean Version of the Anger Discomfort Scale
This article reports on the validation of the Korean version of the Anger Discomfort Scale (ADS-K) in samples comprising college students and community-based adults living in South Korea ( n = 765). The Anger Discomfort Scale (ADS) is a 15-item scale designed to assess levels of discomfort associated with both the experience and expression of anger in interpersonal contexts. For psychometric property testing, survey data were analyzed with advanc…
Career Adaptability and Career Decision Self-Efficacy
The relationship between career adaptability and career decision self-efficacy was examined due to its importance for clients in the career development and career decision-making process. Multivariate meta-analyses using 18 studies with a total population of 6,339 participants were employed. Moderator variables important to this relationship were country of participants, mean age, and career adaptability measures. Estimated correlations between c…
Development of a Screening Instrument for Post-Traumatic Symptoms
Traumatic events in Sri Lanka, such as a decade-long civil war and the 2004 tsunami, necessitate a language specific and time-efficient screening instrument for post-traumatic symptoms. The Sinhala version of the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (SIES-R) was administered to 438 adult participants. Internal consistency estimates for the total SIES-R and each subscales were acceptable (α = .70). A one-week test-retest reliability (n = 54) analysis pro…
Construct validity of the career myths scale among South African adolescents
Career beliefs can limit individuals' abilities to make effective career decisions and hence it is important to identify such beliefs during counselling. Two hundred and sixty grade 8 to 11 high school learners completed the Career Myths Scale, which is a measure of dysfunctional beliefs. The data were subjected to a Maximum Likelihood factor analysis. Three factors were extracted, namely Test Myths, Misconceptions of Exactitude, and Self-Esteem …
Perceived Career Barriers among South African High School Learners
The perception of career barriers has the potential to influence individuals' career choice processes and facilitate or detract from their realising their career goals. Grade 12 black ( n = 90) and Grades 11 ( n = 140) and 12 ( n = 118) white high school learners completed a semi-structured questionnaire asking whether gender discrimination, racial or ethnic discrimination, personal characteristics or other factors were perceived as barriers to p…
Construction and Psychometric Properties of the Childhood Career Development Scale
The aim of this study was to construct and psychometrically validate a measure of childhood career development for Grade 4 to Grade 7 children. Super's (1990) nine dimensions of career development (i.e. curiosity, exploration, information, key figures, locus of control, interests, time perspective, self-concept, and planfulness) formed the conceptual basis of the instrument. Eight of Super's constructs were supported by means of principal compone…
Career Psychology in South Africa
This article provides a framework for a moral consideration of career research and practice in South Africa. The status quo of South African career research and practice is overviewed and some initial questions are suggested in terms of the present and future direction of career psychology in South Africa
The Appropriateness of Super's Career Theory among Black South Africans
The appropriateness of Super's career theory among black South Africans is discussed in terms of developmental stages, the self-concept, career maturity, and career decision-making. Suggestions are provided as to how these constructs may need to be re-evaluated and thus become more meaningful to career counsellors and researchers
Black South African Adolescents' Attitudes about Studying
Black South African high school students (N = 523) were questioned about their attitudes and motivation towards studying. Analysis indicated that the students expressed negative attitudes toward studying and were concerned about failing. 34% indicated a lack of interest in most school subject matter
Occupational Aspirations of Black South African Adolescents
The present study provides a description of the occupational aspirations of 216 black high school students in a special program by the amount of training required (status) and Holland's 1973 typology as well as by gender, age, socioeconomic status, knowledge of self, and occupational knowledge. Analysis indicates that most adolescents aspire to Social and Investigative occupations, and occupations with a high status. Most of this select sample di…

Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Commitment to Career Choices Scale among South African University Students
The responses of South African university students ( N = 303) to the Commitment to Career Choices Scale are analyzed by means of a confirmatory factor analysis as suggested by Ellis and Blustein in 1992. The results provide support for the 1992 findings of Stead and Watson
How Similar are the Factor Structures of the Career Decision Scale, the Career Decision Profile, and the Career Factors Inventory
A sample of 332 undergraduate psychology students completed the Career Decision Scale (CDS), the Career Factors Inventory (CFI), and the Career Decision Profile (CDP). Factor analyses were conducted and four stable factors emerged, namely: Indecision, Need for Self/Career Information, Career Choice Anxiety, and Indecisiveness. The CDP and the CFI both measured Need for Self/Career Information and Indecisiveness. The CDP overlapped in part with th…
The Career Myths Scale
Construct Validity of the Commitment to Career Choices Scale Amongsouth African University Students
Factor analysis of 190 South African university undergraduates' responses to the Commitment to Career Choices Scale showed considerable similarity of factors with those in Blustein, et al.'s 1989 work and supports the construct validity of the scale. However, omission of certain items from the two dimensions is recommended

Factor Analysis of the Career Decision Scale on South African High School Students
A factor analytic study of the Career Decision Scale-High School version of Hartman and Hartman on 312 white South African adolescents from Grades 11 and 12 was undertaken. A simple two-factor structure emerged which accounted for 47.36% of the total variance in the scores. These results support the use of the version as a differential measure of career indecision and indicate that the number and structure of factors can change across populations…
