Abstract

The present research investigated the convergent and incremental validity of the multidimensional model and questionnaire - the Career Decision-Making Profiles (. CDMP, Gati, Landman, Davidovitch, Peretz-Asulin, & Gadassi, 2010) - by comparing it to two prevalent decision-making style models. Study 1 compared the . CDMP to the Vocational Decision Style Indicator (. VDSI; Walsh, 1986) using a sample of 423 young adults. Study 2 compared the . CDMP to the General Decision-Making Style inventory (. GDMS; Scott & Bruce, 1995; based on Harren, 1979) using a sample of 427 individuals. The results of Studies 1 and 2 supported the convergent validity of the . CDMP. Moreover, the results supported the advantage of the . CDMP over the . VDSI in predicting individuals' stages in the career decision-making process.
