Open AccessThe present study examines the relationship between commitment to the career choice process and the career maturity of 123 White first year psychology students. The results indicate a statistically highly significant relationship (? < 0,01) between career maturity and the Vocational Exploration and Commitment subscale of Blustein et al.'s (1989) Commitment to Career Choices Scale and a statistically significant relationship (? < 0,05) between career maturity and the Tendency to Foreclose subscale. Gender is not significantly related to the findings.
Opsomming
Die huidige studie ondersoek die verhouding tussen die toegewydheid aan die proses van loopbaankeuse en die loopbaanvolwassenheid van 123 Blanke eerstejaar sielkunde-studente. Die resultate dui op 'n hoogs beduidende statistiese verhouding (? < 0,01) tussen loopbaanvolwassenheid en die "Vocational Exploration and Commitment" sub-skaal van Blustein et al.'s (1989) se "Commitment to Career Choices Scale". Verder dui die resultate ook op 'n statisties beduidende verhouding (? < 0,05) tussen loopbaanvolwassenheid en die sub-skaal genaamd "Tendency to Foreclose". Geslag is nie beduidend in verband tot enige van die bevindings gestel nie.
