Abstract

This study evaluated the construct validity, concurrent validity, convergent validity, reliability, and measurement invariance of the Turkish version of the Career Decision-Making Outcome Expectancies Scale (CDMOES) and the Career Decision-Making Exploratory Intentions Scale (CDMEIS) among 297 Turkish undergraduate students (59.9% women and 40.1% men). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) demonstrated a single-factor construct for each of the CDMOES and CDMEIS. The CDMOES and CDMEIS were positively correlated with self-efficacy in career decision-making. Multigroup CFAs demonstrated that the CDMOES and CDMEIS had measurement invariance across genders. Furthermore, the CDMOES and CDMEIS demonstrated high reliability (α = .92 and α = .91, respectively). The results provide further evidence that the CDMOES and CDMEIS Turkish versions are valid, reliable, and thus potentially useful for practice and research.
