Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to investigate difficulties that college students have in making career decisions. 233 college juniors majoring in education were given a questionnaire. Of those, 84 students had decided to apply for at least one career. The main results were as follows: (1) Undecided students showed a smaller variance in ratings on a 40-item difficulty scale, and reported having more trouble rating activities than did those who had made a decision. This suggests that they did not seem to recognize their difficulties well.(2) Undecided students who did not feel comfortable about their decision-making status were apt to be annoyed at tasks that students find difficult to solve.(3) Among undecided students, those who were indecisive tended to seek novel alternatives, and did not seem to examine their current alternatives well.
