“…This effort is patent in the theoretical proposals and empirical research of Blustein and colleagues (Blustein, Devenis, & Kidney, 1989;Blustein & Noumair, 1996;Blustein & Phillips, 1990) and Vondracek and colleagues (Skorikov & Vondracek, 1998;Vondracek, 1992;Vondracek, Schulenberg, Skorikov, Gillespie, & Wahlheim, 1995). Therefore, the limitations that have been pointed out in the research on career indecision, and which are basically related to the absence of a solid theoretical framework in many of the studies (Hall, 1992;Tinsley, 1992), can be overcome by the integration of this construct in a broader conceptual approach, as some authors have claimed (Chartrand et al, 1994).…”

Lopez and Andrews (1987) interpreted career indecision as an indicator of the inadequate psychological separation of adolescents from their parents. However, various empirical studies have not managed to clearly demonstrated evidence of a relationship between systemic family variables and career indecision. This investigation, which involves a sample of 418 adolescents of both sexes in the 12th grade of secondary school, analyzed the relationship between conflictual and emotional independence and two dimensions of career indecision: developmental indecision and generalized indecision. As a principal methodology of statistical analysis, a canonical correlation analysis, one for each gender, was used. There were no relationships between the two sets of variables. The results were interpreted in light of the fact that some subjects could be classified as foreclosure in terms of identity status. A model of career decision status is proposed.

“…Because infonnation deficits seem to be paramount with this group, psychoeducational interventions seem well suited (Chartrand et al, 1994). Other ca-reer planning interventions might include an appraisal ofself(e.g., interests, abilities, values), academic and occupational information sources (e.g., career library, computerized career information systems, interviewing), and improving decision-making skills.…”

“…Correspondence regarding this article should be sent to Virginia N. Gordon, 2924 Wellesley Drive, Columbus,OR 43221. A variety of theoretical frameworks are evident in this research. Chartrand et al (1994) suggested that scholars must integrate career indecision with broad theoretical frameworks if research on subtypes is to be productive. Many of the studies reflected either directly or indirectly the tenets of adolescent and adult developmental theory, including psychosocial and career development and decision making theory.…”

Twenty years of research on multiple subtypes of career undecided and decided students was examined to determine if any similarities exist across the types identified in these studies. Some common characteristics of students at various levels of decidedness seemed evident in the 15 studies reviewed. This article organizes the results of these studies based on level of decision status and the descriptions of characteristics or traits ascribed to the students in various types. Counseling implications are offered for each type.

“…Gati's model has individuals eliminate alternatives in arriving at an optimal choice. There is weak support for these models in the literature, primarily because it appears that people do not follow a systematic logical progression in their career decision making, as the theories propose (Phillips, 1997;Phillips & Jome, 2005 (Chartrand et al, 1994); these measures have been used to assist career counselors in working with undecided students and used to assist researchers in identifying correlates of career indecision, such as neuroticism and lack of confidence (Phillips & Jome, 2005).…”

An extensive literature search across the spectrum of vocational psychology was conducted using the time frame of 1991-2008 and resulted in 47 quantitative reviews (i.e., meta-analyses). First, theories of vocational psychology are presented including John Holland's ( 1997) and Rene Dawis and Loyd Lofquist's ( 1984;Dawis, 2005) theory of work adjustment person-environment fit (P-E fit) models; Lent, Brown, and Hackett ( 1994) social cognitive career theory; the social learning theory of John Krumboltz ( 1990); Donald Super's career construction theory (Super, 1992); and L. S. Gottfredson's ( 1999) circumscription theory. Next, vocational outcomes of young people (the development of interests, educational and occupational aspirations, educational achievement, and career choice) and wage-earning adults (job search, job entry, job performance, job satisfaction, career success, and mental health outcomes) are reviewed. The last two major sections concern diverse groups (women and racially and ethnically diverse groups) and individual differences (cognitive ability, personality, and interests) as predictors of vocational outcomes.
