Abstract
College students with and without disabilities (N = 121) completed measures of career decision-making self-efficacy (N. E. Betz, K. Klein, & K. M. Tay lor, 1996) and career decision-making attributional style (D. A, Luzzo & A. Jenkins-Smith, 1998). Students with disabilities reported significantly lo wer levels of career decision-making self-efficacy and exhibited more of a pessimistic attributional style for career decision making than did their p eers without disabilities. Results are discussed in the context of developi ng effective career counseling interventions for college students with disa bilities.
