Relationships between Career Decision Making Difficulties and Irrational Beliefs about Career Choice

Abstract

This study has two aims. First aim is to examine whether irrational beliefs relating to career choice predict career decision making difficulties or not. Second aim is to examine career decision making difficulties of high school students according to gender, age, perceived academic achievement, perceived social-economic levels and career decidedness. The study group consisted of 199 (104 female and 95 male) students from 9th grade students in high school. Career Decision Making Difficulties Questionnaire, Irrational Beliefs Relating to the Career Choice Scale and Personal Information Form are used to collect data. Simultaneous multiple regression analysis and t test are used to analyze data. Irrational Beliefs (perfectionism, external conflict, faulty inference, generalization and self-esteem) relating to the career choices of the students accounted for a significant proportion of the variance (30 %) of the career decision making difficulty scores. The external control is powerful predictors of the career decision making difficulties. It is found that there are significant differences in career decision making difficulties of the students according to the gender, perceived academic achievement, and decided and undecided situation for career. The findings of the study were discussed in related literature and suggestions were made for future research.
