Abstract | This study focused on examining the persistent aspects of career decision-making difficulties, using the Emotional and Personality-related Career decision-making Difficulties scale ("EPCD"; [Saka, N., Gati, I., & Kelly, K.R. (in press). Emotional and personality-related aspects of career decision-making difficulties. "Journal of Career Assessment"]). The contribution of four personality measures--general indecisiveness, self-esteem, trait anxiety, and identity status--to the prediction of persistent career decision-making difficulties was tested on 747 students, using a longitudinal design. Results indicated that individuals with high "EPCD" scores at the beginning of the academic school year had less confidence in their choice and were less close to making a decision about the major into which they wanted to be admitted at the end of the year. The moderate correlations between the "EPCD" score and the four personality measures supported the validity of the "EPCD." Implications for counseling and future research are discussed.
