“…This score is obtained by summing CD A and CDK. Subscale, composite and total scale reliability coefficients reported in the manual (Lokan, 1984) are in the range .73-.90 for an age 14 sample, and .65-.90 for a Year 11 sample, which represent similar reliabilities to those reported for the American inventory (Pinkney & Bozik, 1994).…”

“…In the same way as for the CDI-A, the CDI-A-SF can be interpreted at the subscale (CP, CE, WW, DM), the composite scale (CDA, CDK) and total scale (COT) levels. There is less support for interpreting the CDI-A-SF at the domain level, because of the lower internal reliability at this level for the resource use domain; although it should be pointed out that the CDI-A manual (Lokan, 1984) does not indicate interpretation at this level for the full version. While there is advice in the CDI-A manual to interpret the CDI-A at the total score level (COT), we consider this inadvisable for both the CDI-A and the CDI-A-SF, as this involves collapsing the two independent attitudinal and cognitive domains, which is likely to lead to spurious interpretations.…”

“…The CDI-A has been widely used in Australia (e.g., Clayton & Fletcher, 1994;Creed & Patton, 2003;Levy, 1987;Lokan & Biggs, 1982;Patton & Creed, 2001) as well as in other countries (e.g., South Africa; Patton, Watson, & Creed, in press). Psychometric data are provided in the Australian manual (Lokan, 1984). These include internal reliability coefficients for the subscales and total score of the CDI-A in the range of .73-.90 for an age 14 sample, and .65-.90 for a Year 11 sample, which represent similar reliabilities to those reported for the CDI (Pinkney & Bozik, 1994).…”

“…The Australian version of the Career Development Inventory (CDI-A; Lokan, 1984) has 72 items, and is designed for students in Years 8 to 12. It measures several aspects of career development, including career planning orientation, awareness and use of resources, knowledge of the career development process, knowledge of the world of work, and knowledge and use of decision-making principles.…”

This study used a sample of 2173 high school students, enrolled in Years 8 to 12, to develop a 33-item shortened form (CDI-A-SF) of the Australian version of the 72-item Career Development Inventory (CDI-A). The long form of the CDI-A has been criticised for its length, difficulty and repetitive nature. The CDI-A-SF was devised with reference to content coverage and statistical criteria. Factor analysis of the short form indicated that, at the item level, subscale items loaded on their respective factors, and at the subscale level, the attitudinal and cognitive subscales loaded on the appropriate factors. Strong correlations were found between the CDI-A-SF and the CDI-A at the subscale, composite scale and total scale levels. Internal reliability coefficients for the CDI-A-SF at all levels were satisfactory to good. Initial validity for the CDI-A-SF was demonstrated by associations in the expected direction with career decidedness, self-esteem and decision-making self-efficacy, and by age and gender differences in the expected directions. The CDI-A-SF shows promise as a measure of career maturity where it is not possible or inappropriate to use the full version, although further research needs to replicate the findings and further test its validity.

This study surveyed 3846 Queensland Year 12 students' perceptions of sources of information about post-school options. Free response items addressed what was the most useful information received on post-school options and what furtherinformation was required. The written responses were analysed using a content analysis approach. People were the most commonly nominated resource, followed by publications and personal research. This finding was different, however, for young people not intending to undertake tertiary study. Comparisons were also made on gender, with females generally making more comment about information sources. Students requested more information on their options, advice and finances.
