Abstract

General Background: Career planning during adolescence represents a critical developmental task requiring students to determine future educational and occupational pathways. Specific Background: High school students frequently experience uncertainty regarding post-graduation options due to limited knowledge of career pathways, parental expectations, and low confidence in evaluating personal abilities. Knowledge Gap: Although self-efficacy is widely recognized as a factor related to vocational decision processes, empirical evidence examining structured training programs designed to develop self-efficacy among Indonesian high school students remains limited. Aims: This study aimed to examine changes in career decision outcomes following self-efficacy training among grade XII students. Results: Using a quantitative quasi-experimental pre-post design, data were collected from 86 students at SMA Islam Sidoarjo using the adapted Career Decision Scale. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test demonstrated statistically significant differences between pre-test and post-test scores (p < .001), with median scores increasing from 43.00 to 45.00 and a large effect size (rank-biserial correlation = 0.489). The findings indicate increased confidence and improved readiness in determining future vocational plans after training implementation. Novelty: This study provides empirical evidence demonstrating measurable changes in vocational decision readiness through a structured self-efficacy training intervention within Indonesian secondary education settings. Implications: The findings support the integration of self-efficacy training into school-based career guidance programs to assist students in reducing uncertainty and strengthening preparedness for post-secondary academic or employment pathways. Highlights: Pre-Test and Post-Test Scores Demonstrated Statistically Verified Improvement in Vocational Readiness Levels. Wilcoxon Analysis Confirmed Strong Magnitude of Change Following the Intervention. Participants Demonstrated Greater Confidence and Reduced Hesitation in Selecting Future Pathways.

Abstract

General Background: Quarter Life Crisis represents an emotional crisis commonly experienced during emerging adulthood, characterized by anxiety, self-doubt, and uncertainty regarding identity, career, and interpersonal relationships. This phenomenon is particularly salient among university students transitioning from adolescence to early adulthood. Specific Background: Prior studies have documented the prevalence of Quarter Life Crisis among early adults; however, descriptive evidence detailing categorical levels and gender-based distribution remains limited. Knowledge Gap: Existing research has not comprehensively described the frequency distribution of Quarter Life Crisis categories across demographic characteristics, particularly sex, nor provided detailed statistical profiling within a large student sample. Aims: This study aimed to describe the level of Quarter Life Crisis among undergraduate students aged 18–25 years at Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo. Results: Using a quantitative descriptive design with stratified random sampling (n = 368) and a 21-item Quarter Life Crisis Scale (α = 0.92), findings revealed that 75.543% of students were categorized at a moderate level, 13.315% at a high level, and 11.141% at a low level. Both male and female students were predominantly classified in the moderate category, although total scores were slightly higher among females. Novelty: This study provides a detailed categorical and demographic breakdown of Quarter Life Crisis levels within a balanced gender sample using JASP-based descriptive statistics. Implications: The predominance of moderate levels indicates the need for preventive psychological support and self-regulation strategies to mitigate emotional distress during emerging adulthood in higher education contexts. Highlights: The Majority of Respondents Were Classified Within the Middle-Level Category (75.543%). Female Participants Obtained Slightly Higher Cumulative Scores Than Males. A Smaller Proportion Exhibited Elevated Conditions (13.315%) Compared With Lower-Level Classification (11.141%).
