Dimensionality of Career Indecision: Methodological Perspectives

Kazuaki Shimizu

The dimensionality of career indecision has been the subject of theorizing and empirical research for more than seventy years. Many studies, however, have methodological shortcomings that preclude the necessary distinction between career indecision and career indecisiveness. One possible solution to the problem would be to employ recent methodological advances to identify latent trait and latent state dimensions in items designed to examine career indecision and indecisiveness. More definitive findings regarding the career indecisiveness-indecision distinction will require what Vondracek and his colleagues suggested more than thirty years ago: longitudinal research designs using state of the art analytical methods.
