Abstract

This study was an examination of the validity of Krumboltz's Career Beliefs Inventory in a sample of Italian high school students (N = 256). The factor structure was examined at the item level using exploratory factor analysis. A five-factor structure emerged during analysis highlighting beliefs about Career Confidence, Career Activity, Career Independence, Career Flexibility, and Career Positivity. These factors appear to have little overlap with the results of other studies examining American and other cross-national samples. The factor scores were correlated with several career measures to aid interpretation.
