Career exploration and career decision-making self-efficacy differences between urban and suburban high school students were investigated. The relationship of career exploration to career decision-making self-efficacy was also explored. The findings suggested that urban students scored significantly higher on career exploration than their suburban counterparts. Additional findings revealed an interaction between ethnicity and setting such that minority urban students reported the greatest amount of confidence in their career decision-making skills. Findings also indicated that beliefs about exploratory behavior were a significant predictor of career decision-making self-efficacy.
