Career Planning Scale

Adopting the Career Planning Scale compiled by Lin (1992, Unpublished) according to Osipow et al. (1976) and revised by Chen (1987). It includes four dimensions: self-awareness (e.g., “I still don’t know much about my interests.”), self-confidence (e.g., “I don’t have much confidence in myself.”), career purpose establishment (e.g., “I can’t set a specific career goal right now.”), and career decision-making ability (e.g., “There are so many majors and careers that appeal to me, I don’t know which one to prioritize.”). A total of 26 questions were answered by Likert 5-point method, with reverse scoring, “5=very consistent; 1=very inconsistent.” The higher the score, the lower the level of career planning. In the present study, the Cronbach’s α=0.971.
