Abstract
Westbrook [10] defines vocational maturity as the ability to cope with vocational developmental tasks. Super's Career Development Inventory (CDI) [8] was chosen to measure vocational maturity for several reasons. First, it is derived directly from his theories of vocational development and maturity. Second, it assesses both attitudinal and cognitive aspects of vocational maturity. Third, and most importantly for this study, the three scales cover the full range of vocational developmental tasks and behaviors which occur during the Exploration stage of vocational development. This enables us to infer whether or not a career development program has a differential impact on the vocational maturity of adolescents who are in different substages of the Exploration stage. Forrest [8] examined the content, criterion and construct validity of the CDI and all were found to be acceptable.
