College students with and without disabilities ( N = 121) completed measures of career decision‐making self‐efficacy (N. E. Betz, K. Klein, & K. M. Taylor, 1996) and career decision‐making attributional style (D. A. Luzzo & A. Jenkins‐Smith, 1998). Students with disabilities reported significantly lower levels of career decision‐making self‐efficacy and exhibited more of a pessimistic attributional style for career decision making than did their peers without disabilities. Results are discussed in the context of developing effective career counseling interventions for college students with disabilities.
