Abstract

Theoretical considerations of behavioral characteristics associated with the dimensions of vocational maturity during adolescence identified by Super and with the internal/external personality dimension gave rise to the main hypothesis tested in this study. Over 700 male and female students from two grade levels in five Canadian high schools completed the Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale and Super's Career Development Inventory (CDI). As hypothesized, Internals scored higher than Externals on the various vocational maturity aspects measured by the CDI, both jointly and separately. Developmental aspects of Super's theory of adolescent vocational behavior were also largely substantiated by the results.
