| Abstract: | This study examined the relationship of problem-solving appraisal to career decision making. More specifically, the study examined differences between those who appraised their problem-solving skills as positive versus negative on two career indecision instruments, the Vocational Decision Scale (L. K. Jones & M. F. Chenery, 1980, Journal of Counseling Psychology, 27, 469–477) and the Career Decision Scale (S. H. Osipow, C. G. Carney, J. Winer, B. Yanico, & M. Koschier, 1976, Columbus, OH: Marathon Consulting & Press). Subjects who perceived themselves as positive problem solvers were (a) more confident about their decision-making ability and occupational potential, (b) more likely to have related their abilities to an occupational field, (c) less likely to view the source of indecision outside themselves, and (d) less likely to acknowledge antecedents of career indecision. The results support previous research which suggested that students who are decided may also need career planning assistance. More importantly, the results suggest that problem solving is related to career decision making, which may have important implications for career interventions. |
