Gender differences in the association of XXXX with career indecisiveness, career-decision status, and career-preference crystallization.

@entity1 @entity308
@entity308 has detrimental effects on broad areas of functioning. However, its association with career decision-making factors has been largely unexplored. In the present study, we focused on the association between career decision-making difficulties, career-decision status, and career-preference crystallization, on the one hand, and @entity308 , on the other. The hypothesis that high levels of career decision-making difficulties, less advanced decision status, and low levels of preference crystallization are associated with higher levels of @entity308 was tested with a sample of 222 college seniors. In addition, since it has been found that work-related stressors are more often associated with @entity308 among @entity1 than @entity1 , it was hypothesized that the associations between vocational factors and @entity308 would be stronger for @entity1 than for @entity1 . The @entity1 filled out online self-report questionnaires assessing @entity308 , emotional and personality-related career decision-making difficulties, career-decision status, and career preferences. The results indicated that self-concept and identity-related career decision-making difficulties were associated with @entity308 for both @entity1 and @entity1 . In addition, for @entity1 , but not for @entity1 , less crystallization of career preferences also predicted higher levels of @entity308 . These results show how important it is for counseling psychologists to understand the role of the individual's vocational situation in @entity308 . (PsycINFO Database Record
