Construct and Concurrent Validity of the Korean Career Indecision Inventory
Construct and concurrent validity of the Korean Career Indecision Inventory were examined. Data were collected from 238 South Korean college students. A confirmatory factor analysis supported the original five-factor model. As hypothesized, scores were significantly correlated with various variables such as scores on the Korean versions of the Career Decision Scale (r = .49), the Vocational Identity Scale in My Vocational Situation (r = −.63), the Career Decision-making Self-efficacy Scale (r = −.47), and Negative Affectivity (r = .37). These results support construct validity of the inventory. Students who indicated they were undecided about their careers had significantly higher scores than those who indicated they had decided on a career, supporting concurrent validity. Implications and limitations are discussed.
