Abstract
The multidimensional assessment of career decision problems as measure d by the Career Decision Diagnostic Assessment (CDDA; Bansberg & Sklar e, 1986) is described, and the CDDA is evaluated for reliability, vali dity, and factor structure with a sample of 844 students from three un iversities. Results supported the reliability and validity of the CDDA as a measure of psychological blocks to career decision making. Preli minary normative scores for university students are presented. Recomme ndations for improving the CDDA and for using the CDDA in career couns eling are discussed.
