Abstract
The study aimed to use the graded response model in estimating the
psychometric properties of the career future anxiety scale among
university students in the Sultanate of Oman. The population of the study
consisted of students from Sultan Qaboos and Nizwa Universities
(n=21,360). A random cluster sample of 524 students was selected. The
results of this study demonstrated estimations of item discrimination
parameters and thresholds of the scale items. Additionally, the findings
also indicated that the scale had highly accepted psychometric properties;
namely that the scale’s construct validity was assessed by confirmatory
factor analysis. In addition, the study obtained the suitable cut points for
classifying categories of Omani college students with career future anxiety
based on raw scores and abilities.
