Makingacareerdecisionbecomesamajorpriorityforadolescentsduringthelastyearofhighschool.Thepresentstudyexaminedthetaxonomyofcareerdecision-makingdifficultiesamong1,613Arab12th-gradestudentsattendingschoolsinEastJerusalem,areasintheWestBankunderthePalestinianNationalAuthority,andIsrael.Nosignificantdifferenceswerefoundamongthethreelocations;genderdifferenceswerefoundinthemajorcategoryLackofReadinessandinfourscales(lackofmotivation,generalindecisiveness,lackofinformationaboutadditionalsources,andexternalconflicts).Implicationsforcounselinghigh-schoolstudentsarediscussed.
Thetermcareerindecisionisdefinedinthebroadestsenseasdifficultiesindividualshavewhendecidingonacareer(Chartrand,Rose,Elliot,Marmarosh,&Caldwell,1993;Gad,Krausz,&Osipow,1996;Leong&Chervinko,1996),andreferstoanyproblemorbarrierarisinginthedecision-makingprocess(Fuqua,Blum,&Hartman,1988).Theoryandresearchonindecisionhasfocusedontheoreticalaspectsofthisconcept(e.g.,itsdimensionality,Savickas,Carden,Toman,&Jarjoura,1992;Shimizu,Vondracek,&Schulenberg,1994)andonthedistinctionbetweentemporarydevelopmentalindecisionanddeeper,morechronicandpervasiveindecisiveness(Callanan&Greenhaus,1992;Cohen,Chartrand&Jowdy,1995;Santos,2001).
Inthetheoreticalrealm,variousapproacheshavebeenusedinordertounderstandanddescribeindecision.Forexample,thepsychodynamicapproach(Bordin&Kopplin,1973)attemptedtoclassifydifficultiesaccordingtotheirinternalunconscioussourcesratherthanvisiblesymptoms.Thedevelopmentalapproach(Osipow&Fitzgerald,1996;Super,1953)usedthenotionofvocationalself-concepttodescribecareerdecisiondifficulties,whereasthevocationalinterestapproach(Holland,1997)focusedonproblemsintheconsistencyandcrystallizationofvocationalpreferences.
Gatietal.,(1996)developedthetaxonomyofdifficultiesincareerdecisionmakingwhichwasusedasthetheoreticalframeworkinthepresentresearch.Inthistaxonomythedifficultiesweredefinedasdeviationsfroman"idealcareerdecisionmaker"--apersonwhoisawareoftheneedtomakeacareerdecision,willingtomakesuchadecision,andcapableofmakingthedecision"correctly"(basedonanappropriateprocessandcompatiblewiththeindividual'sgoalsandresources).Anydeviationfromthismodelofanidealcareerdecisionmakerwasregardedasapotentialdifficultythatcouldaffecttheindividual'sdecision-makingprocessinoneoftwopossibleways:
(a)bypreventingtheindividualfrommakingacareerdecision,or(b)byleadingtoalessthanoptimalcareerdecision.
Thetaxonomy(Gatietal.,1996)includesthreemajordifficultycategoriesthatarefurtherdividedintotenspecificcategories.Thefirstmajorcategory,LackofReadiness,includesthreecategoriesofdifficultiesthatmayarisebeforethebeginningofthecareerdecision-makingprocess:
(a)lackofmotivationtoengageinthecareerdecision-makingprocess,(b)generalindecisivenessconcerningalltypesofdecisions,and(c)dysfunctionalbeliefs,includingirrationalexpectations(Nevo,1987)concerningthecareerdecision-makingprocess(e.g.,"Ibelievethereisonlyoneidealcareerforme").
Thetwoothermajordifficultycategories,LackofInformationandInconsistentInformation,includetypesofdifficultiesthatmayariseduringtheactualcareerdecision-makingprocess.LackofInformationincludesfourcategoriesofdifficulties:
(a)lackofknowledgeaboutthestepsinvolvedintheprocess,(b)lackofinformationabouttheself,(c)lackofinformationaboutthevariousalternatives(e.g.,occupations,highschoolclasses,collegemajors),and(d)lackofinformationaboutthesourcesofadditionalinformation.ThemajorcategoryInconsistentInformationincludesthreetypesofproblemsinusinginformation:
(a)unreliableinformation,thatisdifficultiesrelatedtounreliableorcontradictoryinformation(e.g.,aboveaveragehigh-schoolgrades,butalowSATscore);(b)internalconflictssuchascontradictorypreferencesordifficultiesconcerningtheneedtocompromise;and(c)externalconflicts(thatis,conflictsinvolvingtheinfluenceofsignificantothers).
Furtherdistinctionsaremadewithineachcategory;forexample,withinthecategoryoflackofinformationabouttheself,adistinctionismadebetweenlackofinformationregardingtheindividual'spreferences("WhatdoIwant?
")andcapabilities("WhatcanIdo?
").Foramoredetaileddescriptionanddiscussionofthetaxonomy,seeGatietal.(1996).
TheCareerDecision-MakingDifficultiesQuestionnaire(CDDQ;Gatietal.,1996)wasconstructedinordertoempiricallytesttheproposedtheoreticaltaxonomy,inwhicheachofthetendifficultycategoriesisrepresentedbyseveralstatements(e.g.,"Itisusuallydifficultformetomakedecisions").StudyingbothAmericanandIsraelisamplesofyoungadults,Gatietal.foundagreatsimilaritybetweentheempiricalstructureofthethreemajorcategoriesandthetenspecificcategories,ontheonehand,andthetheoreticalstructure,ontheother.FurthersupportfortheproposedstructurewasobtainedbyOsipowandGati(1998),whoexaminedtheconstructandconcurrentvalidityoftheCDDQ,usingtheCareerDecision-MakingSelf-Efficacy-Scale(CDMSE,Taylor&Betz,1983)andtheCareerDecisionScale(CDS,Osipow,Carney&Barak,1976;Osipow&Winer,1996).Lancaster,Rudolph,Perkins,andPatten'sresearch(1999)supportedtheconstructvalidityoftheCDDQ,reportingalargedifferencebetweendecidedandundecidedgroupsinthetotalCDDQscore.Thestructurewasalsosupportedinsubsequentresearch(Gaff,Osipow,Krausz,&Saka,2000;Gaff,Saka,&Krausz,2001;Mau,2001).
Inarecentstudy(Gaff&Saka,2001),thetaxonomyofdifficultiesproposedbyGaffetal.(1996)wasadaptedtofitthedifficultiesfacedbyIsraeliadolescentsinthreedifferenthigh-schoolgradesanddecisionsituations:
choosingaseniorhighschoolintheninthgrade(whichisthelastyearofjuniorhighschoolinIsrael),choosinghigh-schoolelectivecoursesduringthetenthgrade,anddecidingwhichmilitaryjobtheywouldprefer(whichiscompulsoryattheendofhighschoolformoststudents)intheeleventhgrade.Theoriginalquestionnairewasrevisedandadaptedforeachofthethreedecisionsituations,andthestructuresofthetendifficultycategorieswereempiricallyexaminedineachofthethreegrades.GatiandSakareportedagreatresemblancebetweenthetheoreticalmodelandtheempiricalstructureineachofthegrades;ineachone,thestructuresweresimilartothehypothesizedone.Thestructureacrossallgrades(1,843students)wasalmostidenticaltothetheoreticalstructure.Thepresentstudyaimedatexaminingthecross-culturalvalidityofthestructureofdifficultiesamongArabadolescents,whilefocusingonthepossibleeffectsoftheirculturalandethnicbackground.
