Validation of a French Version of the Career Decision-Making Difficulties Questionnaire: Relationships With Self-Esteem and Self-Efficacy
Abstract
The aim of this study was to validate the French version of the Career Decision-Making Difficulties Questionnaire (CDDQ) and to assess its measurement invariance across gender, age groups, countries, and student versus career counseling samples. We also examined the sensitivity of this instrument to discriminate a career counseling population from a general student sample. Third, we studied the relationship between career decision-making difficulties, career decision-making self-efficacy, and self-esteem in a sample of 1,748 French and French-speaking Swiss participants. A confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the overall hierarchical structure of the CDDQ. Multigroup analysis indicated that the level of invariance across groups almost always reached configural, metric, and scalar invariance. Differences between countries were very small, whereas differences between the general population and career counseling subsamples were much larger. Both self-esteem and self-efficacy significantly predicted career decision-making difficulties. Moreover, as expected, self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between self-esteem and career decision-making difficulties.

“More precisely, the literature highlights a relationship between low self-esteem and career indecision [8,9,32,33].”

“In their article, Rossier et al. [8] hypothesized and verified that the effects of self-esteem on career decision difficulties are partially mediated by self-efficacy.”

“Indeed, self-esteem could be considered a personality trait whereas subjective self-efficacy would be more contextual and dependent on expectations and adjustment [8,27].”

In the citing paper
“In their article, Rossier et al. [8] highlighted negative correlations between the general career decision difficulties score or the three subscores of this scale (lack of readiness, lack of information, and difficulties related to inconsistent information) and self-esteem and self-efficacy.”

“Correlational results similar to those reported by these authors for their Swiss sample are found in the present study (see Table 2) and confirm its H1 hypothesis.”

In the citing paper
“The results obtained in their study further clarify the relationship between the three concepts by showing that “self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between self-esteem and career decision-making difficulties” (p. 10).”

“The structural analysis of the CDDQ on a sample of Luxembourg students confirms the results recently highlighted by Rossier et al. [8] and reinforces their conclusions on the appropriateness of the Francophone version of this scale by adding a country not taken into account in their study.”

In the citing paper
“Later, in a paper presenting the validation of the French version of the CDDQ, Rossier et al. [8] showed that self-efficacy moderates the negative link between self-esteem and career decision difficulties.”
From The Relationship between Self-Esteem, Self-Efficacy, and Career Decision-Making Difficulties: Psychological Flourishing as a Mediator (2023) · cites this paper as [8]
In the citing paper
“Although the results are not identical to those previously highlighted, these two psychological constructs are strongly positively correlated with each other; therefore, the conclusions of Rossier et al. [8] remain relevant, and the work of guidance counselors is necessary to strengthen people’s self-efficacy in order to reduce the difficulties of individual decision-making in this area.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
