Normative and Comparative Data on the Career Decision Scale: An Initial Study with a Sample of South African Students

University of the Western Cape

The purpose of the present study was to assess the psychometric properties of a translated version (Afrikaans) of the Career Decision Scale (CDS) for use with black South African students. A total of 104 Afrikaans-speaking senior high school students (53 males and 51 females) completed an Afrikaans version of the CDS. The internal-consistency reliability estimate obtained was 0.77 for the Certainty Scale and 0.82 for the Indecision Scale. The means of the sample on the two scales of the CDS as well as the distribution of percentile ranks as compared to a grade equivalent sample in the United States are also reported. The findings provided initial support for the use of the CDS with South African students.
