Abstract

We tested the associations among the career decision-making difficulties, the career decision status, and either (a) the career decision-making profiles of 575 young adults, or (b) the coping strategies of 379 young adults. As hypothesized, a more advanced decision status was negatively associated with both career decision-making difficulties (η² = .24) and the use of non-productive coping strategies (η² = .10), and positively associated with an adaptive career decision-making profile (η² = .05) and the use of support-seeking coping strategies (η² = .06). Productive coping strategies were not found to be associated with decision status (η² = .01). The results and their implications are discussed.
