  abstract: The Career Beliefs Inventory (CBI) is a 96-item career
  abstract: development measure yielding scores on 25 scales. The
  abstract: purpose of the present study was to evaluate the psychometric
  abstract: characteristics of CBI scores. Specifically, the following
  abstract: psychometric characteristics of the CBI were evaluated: (a)
  abstract: scale alpha coefficients and item analysis statistics, (b)
  abstract: confirmatory structure, and (c) exploratory first- and
  abstract: secondorder factor structures. The present study involved the
  abstract: use of three data sets. One data set included the
  abstract: standardization sample obtained from the CBI author
  abstract: (n=1,788). The other two data sets (n,=344, n2=251) were
  abstract: collected by the author for the purposes of the present
  abstract: study. Evaluation of the psychometric characteristics of the
  abstract: CBI was done through a series of analyses. Results of
  abstract: internal consistency analyses for the scores from the 25 CBI
  abstract: scales, as well as the scores created using the scoring keys
  abstract: associated with the first-order factors reported in the
  abstract: manual, ranged from lows in the .30's to highs in the .80's,
  abstract: with a mean coefficient alpha of .567 for CBI scale scores.
  abstract: Consequently, the item make-up for a majority of the CBI
  abstract: scales needs to be re-evaluated. For the confirmatory
  abstract: structure analyses, six substantive models were fit to the
  abstract: data. None of the models resulted in a good fit to the data.
  abstract: Therefore, focus for further examination of the CBI shifted
  abstract: to exploratory first- and second-order factor analyses.
  abstract: Exploratory first-order factor analyses of the scores from
  abstract: the 96 item CBI resulted in a six-factor structure.
  abstract: Exploratory second-order factor analyses of two data sets
  abstract: (CBI Sample and Pooled Sample) resulted in four-factor
  abstract: solutions that were generally similar, with two of the four
  abstract: factors in both data sets being readily comparable. The
  abstract: following recommendations were based on the findings of the
  abstract: present study. With few items per scale and low
  abstract: reliabilities, practical application of the CBI may involve
  abstract: exploration of beliefs using items as a basis for discussion,
  abstract: as against using actual scale or item scores. Further
  abstract: evaluation of the psychometric properties of the CBI and of
  abstract: alternative models also appears to be warranted.
