Classifying clients into career indecision types can facilitate tailoring interventions to each client's specific needs. The present research examined a typology of career indecision on 50 data sets (N = 31,527) representing diverse populations from 16 countries on five continents. Latent profile analyses of participants' responses on the Career Decision-Making Difficulties Questionnaire (CDDQ) revealed seven replicable career indecision types across samples: unmotivated, unrealistic, generally uninformed, occupations-uninformed, conflicted-uninformed, externally conflicted, and internally conflicted. Age emerged as a negligible predictor of career indecision types, whereas gender predicted membership in the unmotivated type, with men twice more likely to be unmotivated than women. The seven types were similarly predictive of career decision status, decision certainty, and decision self-efficacy. These results largely support using the CDDQ to differentially diagnose career indecision types based on 10 causes of career indecision in different countries, life stages, and genders. Classifying individuals based on their patterns of career decision-making difficulties supports tailoring individual career counseling or group interventions to clients' needs.

16 个国家的职业决策困难模式：以人为本的调查。

将客户分为职业犹豫不决类型可以促进根据每个客户的具体需求定制干预措施。本研究对代表五大洲 16 个国家不同人群的 50 个数据集 (N = 31,527) 进行了职业犹豫不决的类型分析。对职业决策困难问卷（CDDQ）参与者的回答进行潜在概况分析，揭示了样本中七种可复制的职业犹豫不决类型：无动力、不切实际、普遍不知情、职业不知情、冲突不知情、外部冲突和内部冲突。年龄对于职业犹豫不决类型的预测作用可以忽略不计，而性别则预示着缺乏动力的类型，男性缺乏动力的可能性是女性的两倍。这七种类型对职业决策状态、决策确定性和决策自我效能的预测类似。这些结果在很大程度上支持使用 CDDQ 根据不同国家、生命阶段和性别的 10 种职业犹豫不决原因来区分诊断职业犹豫不决类型。根据职业决策困难模式对个人进行分类，有助于根据客户的需求定制个人职业咨询或团体干预措施。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
