“…The CMI underwent several revisions for better applicability in 1978 and 1995, reducing the number of items and simplifying its sub-scales. This study used the CMI Counseling Form-C, revised by Savickas and Porfeli 22 and translated into the Korean version by Bang, 33 to measure the career maturity of the participants. Cronbach’s α coefficients of the overall variable in Korean version was 0.686 for Korean high school students.…”

“…Cronbach’s α coefficients of the overall variable in Korean version was 0.686 for Korean high school students. 33 CMI Counseling Form-C is a usable form based on the career construction theory of Savickas that measures the ability of an individual to handle current career development tasks in multiple dimensions in a short time. 22 …”

“…This study collected CMI responses using a 5-point Likert scale for each item with 5 points for ‘strongly agree’ and 1 point for ‘strongly disagree.’ However, following precedent studies, all items except items 8, 12, 20, and 24 are reverse-coded ( Table 1 ). 22 33 Thus, higher scores in the CMI indicate a higher career maturity of the participants.…”

Background For medical school students, specialty choice after graduation significantly impacts their future doctor life. Several Korean medical schools have made efforts to prepare career development programs. However, career support programs based on the systematic analysis of medical school students’ first to the final year are still lacking. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the students’ career preparation of one medical school in Korea using the Career Maturity Inventory (CMI) and Specialty Indecision Scale (SIS) and to explore the relationship between CMI and SIS variables. Methods From December 2020 to July 2021, we conducted an online survey of 600 students in years 1 to 4 at Seoul National University College of Medicine. We analyzed the differences between the years of the students through one-way analysis of variance of the CMI and SIS and the relationship between the two instruments by correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. Results A total of 198 students completed the survey. The average scores of the CMI variables tended to increase as the year of study went up, and the confidence score of the 1st year students was significantly lower than that of the 2nd and 4th year students. Although there was almost no consistent decrease by year in the SIS variables, 3rd and 4th year students showed significantly lower readiness scores than 1st year students. Additionally, we found that the CMI variables mostly had a negative effect on the SIS variables. Conclusion There is an increasing tendency for career maturity by year of study in Korean medical school students. However, looking at the SIS results, the career concerns vary among the students. Therefore, medical schools can effectively use the SIS to identify the career concerns of students.

To address the challenges of WEIRD science (Henreich et al., 2010) in vocational psychology. we adopted the framework of cultural validity and cultural specificity delineated by Leong and Brown (1995). Using this framework. this chapter provides a critical review of cross-cultural studies of career theories, including the career developmental theory, career trait and factor theory, social cognitive career theory, and career decision-making theory. Empirically, the cultural validity and cultural specificity of these career theories were supported across cultures. However, most evidence was based mainly on cross-sectional research design, and the corresponding longitudinal evidence is very much needed in future studies. The implications for career theory and practice across cultures are discussed, as are limitations of current research and promising directions for future research.
