SILVA, Marcelo Zanotti  e  ANDRADE, Alexsandro Luiz de. Assessing negative thoughts about the career: the development of a measure (EPNC). Rev. bras. orientac. prof [online]. 2016, vol.17, n.2, pp.175-187. ISSN 1679-3390.

This research aimed to develop an instrument to assess negative thoughts about the career. The study was performed on a sample of 848 participants aged 18 to 25 (M = 24.97, SD = 5.22), with 456 women (55.1%). The measure was elaborated from other available scales and interviews. The final version of the EPNC presented indicators of validity and reliability favorable to its use, with factorial structure divided into four factors, namely: Anxiety and Decision Insecurity (AID, ω = 0.91), Career pessimism (PC, ω = 0.86), Market Pessimism (PM, ω = 0.78) and Costs for success (CS, ω = 0.85).
