Abstract: Tried to develop a career decision-making locus of control internal-external double-dimensional questionnaire,then provided a description of the undergraduates'actuality.Ss were 507 from two science and technology colleges in Shijiazhuang.First,the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model with double-dimensionality was an excellent match to the data and implied that the internal and external control might be relatively independent rather than opposite end of a single continuum.Then,the six indictors of the career decision-making locus of control (the six indicators are sexual dependence,relational dependence,major luck,major ability,personal effort,decision-making ability)showed that the subjects tended to be externality and teachers should help them to be responsible for their own business.

Key words: undergraduate, Career Decision-Making, Locus of Control
