A Meta-Analysis on the Studies of Career Indecisionand its Related Variables

This study examined the psychometric properties of a Korean translation of the Emotional and Personality-Related Career Decision-Making Difficulties-Short Form (EPCD-SF). The participants were 501 Korean students; 239 also completed a second survey to assess the test-retest reliability. The overall factor structure of the original EPCD was supported with the Korean EPCD-SF, but 2 items of the conflictual attachment and separation subcategory in self-concept and identity dimension showed low factor loadings, indicating that the 2 items might not be relevant to the Korean participants. The Korean EPCD-SF had a better model fit than the EPCD-Long Form did, and it was reliable and stable. The Korean EPCD-SF was positively related to other career indecision measures, such as career stress, external locus of control, and trait anxiety, and it was negatively related to career decision self-efficacy and self-esteem.
