Abstract:

Career choice one of the foremost important decisions that individuals make in their life and affects their entire lives. The choice of profession is decisive in one's interpersonal relationships and life roles. Individuals are influenced by many social support sources such as family, friends, teachers in their career preferences. Parents, who have an important role in the development of their children, have a great influence on the career choice process. The mismatch of the career goals of children and parents causes conflicts. The aim of this study is to make a Turkish adaptation of The Discrepancies Between Individual- Set and Parent- Set Career Goals Scale by Sawitri, Creed, Perdhana (2020) to measure the incompatibilities between the career goals that young people set for themselves and the career goals that their parents set for them. Apart from The Discrepancies Between ındividual- Set and Parent- Set Career Goals Scale, a "Personal Information Form" was created by the researchers to describe the characteristics of the participants. In addition, the Adolescent- Parent Career Congruence Scale was directed to the participants. The Discrepancies Between ındividual- Set and Parent- Set Career Goals Scale consists of a three-factor structure for ability inconsistencies, choice inconsistencies and enthusiasm inconsistencies. The Chi-square value obtained as a result of the confirmatory factor analysis performed to test whether this structure in the original of the scale is verified or not, Normed Fit Index (NFI), Incremental Fit Index (IFI), Turker-Lewis Index (TLI) Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) and SRMR (Standardized Root Mean Square Residual) values were taken into account. Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated for the reliability analysis of the scale. The Cronbach alpha coefficient was calculated as .93. The Cronbach alpha coefficient of the skill inconsistency sub-dimension is .82; the selection inconsistency sub-dimension was .93 and the enthusiasm inconsistency sub-dimension was .94. The validity and reliability study conducted within the scope of the study shows that the Turkish form for the young adult sample is valid and reliable.
