USING THE ADULT CAREER CONCERNS INVENTORY TO MEASURE TASK INVOLVEMENT

The Adult Career Concerns Inventory (ACCI) uses an attitudinal item-re sponse scale to measure the planning attitudes dimension of career ada ptability. This study examined the psychometric properties of the ACCI when used with a behavioral item-response scale. Results supported th e hypothesized unidimensionality of the ACCI-B Exploration subscales, which related as expected to vocational identity, need for occupationa l information, career choice certainty, and career indecision. Using a behavioral ACCI item-response scale, in addition to an attitudinal on e, may provide counselors with important information when working with client's making an initial career choice.
