Abstract: This study examined the latent structure of the relations between use of a computer-assisted career guidance system (DISCOVER) and three variables in the vocational domain: attitudinal vocational maturity, career time perspective and career decision-making. 432 undergraduates were assigned to either a treatment (DISCOVER) group or served as controls in a pre-posttest experimental design. Two factors emerged from the factor analyses (LISREL): an attitude and a time perspective factor. That time perspective emerged as an independent factor is a new and unexpected finding. Regression analyses revealed the only significant effects were all three variables at Time 1 on themselves at Time 2. DISCOVER had no significant effect. Findings are discussed in terms of career indecision and are related to previous studies. Suggestions for future research are provided.
