Abstract

This study examined how character strengths and the importance of family influenced Mexican American college students' (N = 129) career decision self-efficacy. Findings from a multiple regression analysis indicated that psychological grit and curiosity were significant predictors of career decision self-efficacy. The authors discuss the importance of these findings and provide recommendations for future research.
