This study was an attempt to explore the effect of peer attachment on career decision making among undergraduate students. A sample of 528 undergraduate students of the education department was selected from public and private universities of Lahore through a stratified random sampling technique. The questionnaire used for data collection was comprised of demographic information, career decision making self-efficacy developed by Betz, Klein and Taylor (1996) and inventory of peer and parental attachment developed by Armsden and Greenberg (1987) and revised by Gullone and Robinson (2005). Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between variables. An independent sample t-test was applied to determine the difference between the groups. The results showed that peer attachment has a significant effect on CDMSF.
