Analysis

The analysis of the SCCI (Strategies for Coping with Career Indecision) involves the evaluation of various strategies used to cope with indecision. These strategies are typically categorized into different dimensions, such as:
Active strategies: Include seeking information and exploring options.
Avoidance: Involves delaying decision-making or avoiding dealing with the problem.
Support: Involves seeking help from friends, family, or professional counselors.
Self-guidance: Using internal mechanisms such as self-analysis and self-criticism to address indecision.

Objective

The goal of the SCCI is to provide researchers and career counselors with a clear understanding of the strategies individuals use to cope with career indecision. This can aid in the development of personalized interventions and support to help individuals overcome obstacles in their career path and make more informed and effective decisions.

Scoring

Scoring for the SCCI is carried out by analyzing responses to a series of questions related to different coping strategies. Each question is rated on a Likert scale, typically from 1 (not at all) to 5 (very much), and total scores are derived from the sum of the individual responses. The analysis of the results can reveal which strategies are used most frequently and how effective they are for each person.
