Abstract

In the present research, we designed and tested a self-developed Career Transition Inventory for students with autism spectrum disorders (SASD) (CTI-SASD) based on the bioecological systems theory developed by Bronfenbrenner, and incorporates four domains, including strategies, self, support, and situation. Based on a quantitative approach, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling were employed to examine the instrument's factor structure, reliability, validity, and structural relationships. Results show that a four-factor model with high item loadings was observed and consistent across all domains. The indices of internal consistency, such as Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability, were well above the recommended values. Convergent and discriminatory validities were also defined. Model fit indices revealed an acceptable measurement model. At the same time, path analysis showed meaningful interrelationships among the four constructs, highlighting the dynamic interplay of personal, behavioural, and contextual factors in career transition.
