The procedure used in the quantification of the causal model is a generalization of multiple linear regression known as path analysis. The sample consisted of the some 1, 600 Grade Eleven students who were part of the Career Decisions Project carried out by Breton and McDonald in 1965-66. – While this study explained only a small proportion of the variance in vocational indecision, it did result in some elucidation of the complex process of vocational decision-making as it applies to the youth of Newfoundlan
