Abstract
This study describes the development and evaluation of a short form of the widely used Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale (CDMSE; Ta ylor & Betz, 1983). The psychometric characteristics and relationship to the Career Decision Scale (CDS; Osipow, 1987) and the Vocational Id entity Scale (Holland, Johnston, & Asama, 1993) were examined in a sam ple of 180 college students. The potential utility of a more efficient short form of the scale for use in career counseling interventions wi ll be discussed.
