A short 33-item form of the Career Development Inventory was validated on a sample of 310 Iranian high school students. Factor analysis indicated that attitude and cognitive subscale items loaded on their respective factors, and that internal reliability coefficients at all levels were satisfactory to good. Support for validity was demonstrated by associations in the expected direction for career decidedness and career decision-making self-efficacy. This short form of the inventory shows promise as a measure of career maturity with students from a non-Western country.Résumé. Validation de la version courte du Career Development Inventory avec un échantillon de lycéens iraniens. Une version courte à 33 items du Career Development Inventory a été validée sur un échantillon de 310 étudiants iraniens au lycée. L'analyse factorielle indique que les items des échelles attitude et cognition saturent sur leurs facteurs respectifs et que les coefficients de fidélité interne sont satisfaisants à bons à tous les niveaux. Un soutien à la validité est démontrée par l'association dans la direction attendue entre la décision vocationnelle et le sentiment de compétence en ce qui concerne la prise de décision vocationnelle. La version courte de cet inventaire est prometteur en tant que mesure de la maturité vocationnelle avec des étudiants d'un pays non occidental. Resumen. Validación de una forma abreviada del Inventario del Desarrollo de la Carrera, con una muestra iraní de estudiantes de secundaria. Una forma abreviada (33 items) del Inventario del Desarrollo de la Carrera se validó con una muestra de 310 estudiantes de secundaria iraníes. Los análisis factoriales mostraron que los items de las sub-escalas actitudinal y cognitiva saturaron en sus respectivos factores y que los coeficientes de fiabilidad interna puntuaron entre satisfactorio y bien, en todos los niveles. La validez se demostró a través de la relación, en la dirección esperada, entre la determinación vocacional y la auto-eficacia en la toma de decisiones. Esta forma abreviada del inventario es potencialmente útil para medir la madurez vocacional de estudiantes de un país no occidental.

“…For example, there may be a statistical difference between pretest and the posttest results but this difference provides very little information if the instrument does not measure pertinent variables related to career development and choice. Sechrist, McKnight, and McKnight (1996) further argued that outcome measures not only need to measure real-life constructs, but these measures also need to be calibrated to produce metrics that are understandable and meaningful.…”

Increased demands for accountability information have resulted in many career counseling practitioners and researchers seeking sound methods for measuring the effectiveness of career counseling and interventions. This article proposes a conceptual framework designed to assist individuals in systematically selecting multiple career outcome measures. This classification scheme is based on psychotherapy outcome schemes and career counseling research. In addition to presenting the organizational scheme for selecting career outcome assessments, the author provides an example of using the scheme to select instruments to evaluate a career counseling group offered in a university counseling center.
