Construction and Psychometric Properties of the Childhood Career Development Scale

Abstract

The aim of this study was to construct and psychometrically validate a measure of childhood career development for Grade 4 to Grade 7 children. Super's (1990) nine dimensions of career development (i.e. curiosity, exploration, information, key figures, locus of control, interests, time perspective, self-concept, and planfulness) formed the conceptual basis of the instrument. Eight of Super's constructs were supported by means of principal components analysis, with seven being replicated with a second sample. The relationships between grade, gender and the Childhood Career Development Scale's sub-scale scores are reported, and implications for theory and research are provided.
