Career Decision Self-Efficacy in Senior Secondary Students: Examining the Contributions of Parental Encouragement and Emotional Maturity
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study explores the impact of parental encouragement and emotional maturity on the career decision self-efficacy (CDSE) of senior secondary school students. Utilizing a sample of 900 students from Ludhiana and Moga districts, the research investigates whether different levels of parental encouragement and emotional maturity contribute significantly to variations in CDSE. The study employs the Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (CDSE-SF) for assessment. The findings reveal no significant differences in CDSE based on varying levels of parental encouragement or emotional maturity, nor is there a significant interaction between these factors. The implications of these findings are discussed concerning educational practices and career counseling.
