Abstract
The relationship of parental and peer attachment bonds with career
decision making self-efficacy among adolescents and post-adolescents
was studied with a sample of 300 males and 250 females recruited
from different government colleges and universities of Rawalpindi and
Islamabad, Pakistan. The Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment-R
(IPPA-R) was used to measure the level of parental and peer
attachment bonds, and the Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy
Scale-Short Form (CDMSE-SF) to measure career decision making
self efficacy. Significant positive relationship was found between
parental as well as peer attachment bonds with career decision-making
self-efficacy. When the relationship of parental and peer attachment
bonds and career decision making self-efficacy was investigated
separately for males and females, no difference was found. Study
concluded that both parental and peer attachment bonds contribute in
predicting career decision making self-efficacy, although parental
influence seems stronger than the peer influence.
