affecting career self-concept for junior high school students
with disabilities invocational education programs in Taiwan. A
survey on career self-conceptfor 192 junior high school students
with disabilities taking vocational training programs was

cluster sampling. Survey data concerning the self-concept career
experiences and status of these students aged from 13 to 18
years werethen analyzed. Reliability and validity tests
validated the Career Self-conceptQuestionnaire for Students with
Disabilities was reliable. The exploratory factor analysis
empirically indicated a seven-factor model ofcareer self-concept
for students with disabilities. Six factors (i.e., sex, level
of grade, level of mental retardation, accompanieddisabilities,
kinds of vocational programs, work experiences) that had
significant influences on the career self-concept of students
with disabilities attending vocational education programs were
identified through stepwise multiple regression. The
findings and results of this study differed from those
ofprevious career self-concept studies conducted, particularly
by establishing an empirically supported pattern of career self-
conceptconstructs for junior high school students with
disabilities in vocationaleducation programs in Taiwan.
Recommendations are offered concerning theimplications of these
findings for future research, school practice, and transition
services.
