dc.description.abstractThe differences between international students and domestic students on career decision-making self-efficacy were investigated in regards to family and cultural influence. Participants included 77 undergraduate domestic and international students. Standardized assessments on career decision-making self-efficacy, family influence, and individualism-collectivism were completed. Participants indicated their current occupational pursuit, their family’s career, and their perceptions of their family’s career expectations. Bivariate correlations and ANOVAs revealed that there were significant differences between international students and domestic students on career decision-making self-efficacy, but no significant effects of family or cultural influence were found. Thematic analysis found that participants felt they had the freedom to choose their own career, though some expressed their family had specific career expectations for them. Limitations of the study, directions for future research, and implications for university career practitioners and academic policy-makers are discussed.en_US
