Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: This study investigated the relationships among negative career thoughts and profile elevation, differentiation, career decidedness, and satisfaction with choice. Study participants were 226 university students enrolled in an Introduction to Career Development course. The Career Thoughts Inventory (CTI) was used to measure negative career thoughts, the Self-Directed Search (SDS) was used to measure profile elevation and differentiation, the Occupational Alternatives Question (OAQ) was used to measure career decidedness, and the Satisfaction with Choice item was used to determine participants' level of satisfaction with their first career choice. A series of multiple regression analyses were conducted to determine the amount of variance accounted for by negative career thoughts (decision-making confusion, commitment anxiety, and external conflict) in profile elevation, differentiation, career decidedness, and satisfaction with choice.
