Implication

Cross-sectional psychometric evaluation reveals partial measurement equivalence of the Career Indecision Profile in college students, suggesting cultural differences in career distress constructs.

Key Points

Determine whether the four-factor Career Indecision Profile-65 demonstrates cross-national measurement equivalence across student populations in the United States and Iceland.
Administered the 65-item Career Indecision Profile to samples of college students in the United States and Iceland.
Conducted multiple-group confirmatory factor analyses to assess construct validity and factor loading invariance across four domains: neuroticism/negative affectivity, choice/commitment anxiety, lack of readiness, and interpersonal conflicts.
Confirmed acceptable fit for the baseline four-factor model across both United States and Icelandic cohorts.
Identified non-invariant factor loadings specifically for choice/commitment anxiety and interpersonal conflicts, indicating cultural variations in how these career distress dimensions manifest.
