“…In addition, the evidence gathered with regard to indecision typology points toward chronically indecisive types having the highest levels of negative personality traits such as neuroticism, global instability and state anxiety (Tokar, Fischer, & Subich, 1998). Moreover, other studies have reported on the personality dimensions that tend to be associated with high levels of career indecision such as low extraversion (Newman, Gray & Fuqua, 1999), anxiety (Fuqua, Newman, & Seaworth, 1988), depression (Saunders, Peterson, Sampson, & Reardon, 2000) and fear of commitment (Leong & Chervinko, 1996).…”

This longitudinal study tested students in Grade 8 and again in Grade 10 on career (maturity, barriers, indecision, decision-making self-efficacy), well-being (self-esteem, life satisfaction, coping) and social (school achievement, paid work experience) variables. Students were allocated to decided or undecided conditions at T1, T2 and across T1-T2, based on self-reported global decidedness ratings. As predicted, the undecided students had poorer career, well-being and social outcomes than the decided students at T1 and T2. The undecided group was also less likely to report having paid work-experience at T1, and to be overrepresented by females at T2. Students who were undecided at T1 and T2 (i.e., continuously undecided) fared poorer than students who were decided at T1 and T2 (continuously decided) and students who changed decision status from T1 to T2 (i.e., developmentally undecided). Females were more likely to be continuously undecided, although continuously undecided males were more complacent and more likely to use maladaptive strategies than females. Implications of being temperamentally versus developmentally undecided are discussed.The present study adds to the literature by seeking to clarify whether adolescents who report persistent career indecision is associated with more negative intra-individual effects, compared to adolescents who report being decided across time or who report a decision status that reflects a developmental indecision. Chronic indecision has been linked with negative intra-individual variables in a variety of studies (e.g., Kelly & Lee, 2002), although these studies have typically examined the characteristics of different types of career decision makers using cross-sectional designs. A relatively severe type of indecision, in comparison to the other groups identified, has invariably emerged from this body of evidence, although the majority of these studies to date have used young adult student samples. The present study seeks to report on important career-related and intra-individual variables associated with groups of school aged decision makers formed on the basis of measures of career indecision taken across time. We present a brief review of the career indecision typology research to provide the context for the design and predictions of the present study.It does appear that there are different types of career indecision and that those who suffer from chronic indecision may be worse off than others. Larson, Heppner, Ham and Dugan (1988), for instance, found a more negative pattern of career planning deficits and more deleterious problem

“…Literature review on anxiety in scope of career development process shows that studies particularly focus on the relation between career indecision and anxiety (Campagna, & Curtis, 2007;Daniels, Stewart, Stupnisky, Perry, & LoVerso, 2011;1988;Fuqua, Seaworth & Newman, 1987;Hawkins, Bradley & White, 1977;Peng, 2005).…”

“…Literatürde kariyer gelişimi sürecinde kaygı ile ilişkili olarak yapılan çalışmalara bakıldığında, çalışmaların özellikle kariyer kararsızlığı (career indesicion) ve kaygı arasındaki ilişkiye odaklandığı görülmektedir (Campagna ve Curtis, 2007;Daniels, Stewart, Stupnisky, Perry ve LoVerso, 2011;Fuqua, Newman ve Seaworth;1988;Fuqua, Seaworth ve Newman, 1987;Hawkins, Bradley ve White, 1977;Peng, 2005). Örneğin; Mojgan, Kadir ve Soheil (2011), İranlı lisans öğrencileri ile yaptığı çalışmalarında sürekli kaygının kariyer kararsızlığında durumluk kaygıdan daha fazla etkiye sahip olduğunu, kaygı ve kariyer kararsızlığı arasındaki ilişkinin pozitif yönde olduğunu bulmuşlardır.…”

The purpose of this study is to develop a scale to determine the career anxiety of students attending the high school. The study was conducted during the 2014-2015 academic year on three different groups, the first of which was comprised of 350 grade 11 and 12 students from 6 different high schools located in Nevşehir city center, the second 337 and the third 687 students, respectively. In the scale development process, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was performed. According to EFA results, career anxiety scale has two factors. Cronbach alpha coefficient of anxiety over choice of profession was found to be .797 and that of family effect .742 in scope of career development. Fit indices, derived from confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) implemented in order to verify whether the model structure is plausible or not as a result of exploratory factor analysis, were found to be χ 2 /sd=2.518, RMSEA=0.067, CFI=0.95, NFI=0.92, NNFI=0.94, SRMR=0.055, GFI=0.92 and AGFI=0.90.

“…Based on anxiety studies (Fuqua, Newman, & Seaworth, 1988;Spielberger, 2010), there are two types of anxiety: state anxiety as a transitory emotional state and trait anxiety as a stable individual difference in anxiety-proneness. Even though no implication of causality can be made, sate anxiety or the indecision, some college students are undecided because the process of making a decision arouses strong state anxiety.…”

The present study examined the effect of group career counseling (GCC) by infusing positive psychology and spirituality on undergraduate students' state anxiety. A total of 187 Taiwanese college students took the strength-based group career coursing courses and assigned to experimental groups, responded to the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. After the subjects had participated in the model of career education course, the experimental groups score on state anxiety decreased. A Pearson Product-moment correlation matrix described the relationships between the state anxiety score and the 4 sub scores of the Problem Solving Scale and Spirituality total score. The multiple regression analysis of the state anxiety scale used gender, age and 4 sub scores of the Problem Solving and Spirituality scale as predictor variables. The predictor variables ("trait anxiety", "purpose and meaning in life", "problem-solving confidence" and "personal control" subscales of the "PSI") were able to account for 48% of the variance of State Anxiety. Implications for future research and recommendations for incorporating positive psychology with spirituality into GCC are discussed.
