“…The noncollege sample was significantly older, and a larger percentage of women comprised the college sample. Research (Feldt, 2013; Schulenberg, Shimizu, Vondracek, & Hostetler, 1988) has revealed the factor-structure of other career-indecision measures to be gender invariant, so we think it is unlikely the differences in our college and noncollege samples are solely the result of the samples’ gender composition, but future research should seek to narrow these demographic differences to more definitively conclude that the differences observed can be attributed to the variable (college vs. noncollege) of real interest. It would also be useful to determine whether there is measurement invariance across racial/ethnic groups within college and noncollege young-adult samples, as this has not yet been investigated.…”
