Abstract :
The purpose of this study is to develop a scale to determine the career anxiety of students attending the high school. The study was conducted during the 2014-2015 academic year on three different groups, the first of which was comprised of 350 grade 11 and 12 students from 6 different high schools located in Nevşehir city center, the second 337 and the third 687 students, respectively. In the scale development process, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was performed. According to EFA results, career anxiety scale has two factors. Cronbach alpha coefficient of anxiety over choice of profession was found to be .797 and that of family effect .742 in scope of career development. Fit indices, derived from confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) implemented in order to verify whether the model structure is plausible or not as a result of exploratory factor analysis, were found to be χ2/sd=2.518, RMSEA=0.067, CFI=0.95, NFI=0.92, NNFI=0.94, SRMR=0.055, GFI=0.92 and AGFI=0.90.
