The Relationship of Demographic and Psychological Variables to Career Maturity of Junior College Student-Athletes.

Kornspan, Alan S.; Etzel, Edward F.

Journal of College Student Development, v42 n2 p122-32 Mar-Apr 2001

Junior college students (N=259) were surveyed to examine the relationship among athletic identity, career self-efficacy, career locus of control, and various demographic variables to career maturity. Results revealed that career locus of control and career self-efficacy were the most influential psychological variable in the prediction of career maturity. Gender and age also contributed to prediction of career maturity scores. (Author/JDM)
