Abstract

The present research investigated the convergent and incremental validity of the multidimensional model and questionnaire – the Career Decision-Making Profiles (CDMP, Gati, Landman, Davidovitch, Peretz-Asulin, & Gadassi, 2010) – by comparing it to two prevalent decision-making style models. Study 1 compared the CDMP to the Vocational Decision Style Indicator (VDSI; Walsh, 1986) using a sample of 423 young adults. Study 2 compared the CDMP to the General Decision-Making Style inventory (GDMS; Scott & Bruce, 1995; based on Harren, 1979) using a sample of 427 individuals. The results of Studies 1 and 2 supported the convergent validity of the CDMP. Moreover, the results supported the advantage of the CDMP over the VDSI in predicting individuals' stages in the career decision-making process.

► We test the convergent and incremental validity of the CDMP, Gati et al. 2010. ► Study 1 compared the CDMP to the Vocational Decision Style Indicator (N = 423) deliberating individuals. ► Study 2 compared the CDMP to the General Decision-Making Style (N = 427). ► The results of both studies supported the convergent validity of the CDMP. ► The results supported the incremental validity of the CDMP over other the VDSI.
