Da. Luzzo et al., Evaluating differences in college students' career decision making on the basis of disability status, CAREER DEV, 48(2), 1999, pp. 142-156
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.
