@article{Morgan_Ness_2003, title={Career Decision-Making Difficulties of First-Year Students}, volume={2}, url={https://cjcd-rcdc.ceric.ca/index.php/cjcd/article/view/311}, abstractNote={<p>First-year university students often experience career indecision and related career decision-making difficulties. Gati, Krausz, and Osipow (1996) developed a taxonomy for understanding the various difficulties contributing to career indecision. The focus of the current study was to examine their taxonomy with a Canadian sample of university students in relation to career decision-making self-efficacy, sex-role identification, and stage of identity development. Our results indicated a significant negative correlation between career decision-making difficulties and self-efficacy, which discriminated among degree of career indecision and whether or not students had changed their career plans since attending university. Also, there were some significant sex-role orientation and stage of identity differences for some of these variables. Implications for career counsellors are discussed.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Canadian Journal of Career Development}, author={Morgan, Tracy and Ness, David}, year={2003}, month={Jan.}, pages={32–39} }
