The aim of this study was to search for the links between adolescent career anxiety, career decision-making self-efficacy,
and adjective-based personality traits, as well as to see how predictive adjective-based personality qualities are for career
anxiety and decision-making self-efficacy. A total of 710 students, 511 girls (72%) and 199 boys (28%) from various
high schools in Istanbul, Turkey, made up the research group. Predictive correlational model was used in the analysis of
the data while Career Anxiety Scale, Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale and Adjective-Based Personality Scale
were used as data collection tools. After providing the normality assumptions and checking extreme values, data analysis
was carried out. Standard multiple regression analysis was performed to examine the predictive potential of personality
traits based on adjectives on career anxiety and career decision-making self-efficacy, while Pearson Correlation analysis
was utilized to determine the relationship between the variables. As a result of the study, several significant correlations
between adolescent career anxiety, career decision-making self-efficacy, and adjective-based personality traits were
discovered. It was also discovered that adjective-based personality traits predicted career anxiety and competence
expectation in career decision-making
