Abstract

The Calling and Vocation Questionnaire (CVQ) is one of the most widely used multidimensional scales of
career calling. We developed a short version of the CVQ in Italian (CVQ-I) and investigated its validity in a large sample of college students (N = 5886). Confirmatory factor analyzes supported a six-factor structure, which was shown to be invariant over time, gender, and study domains using multi-group measurement invariance analyzes. Scale scores were found to possess adequate internal consistency and convergent validity. These results demonstrate validity for the use of the CVQ-I in cross-cultural and longitudinal research and interventions.
