This study investigated the validity of the Fear of Commitment Scale as an indicator of vocational indecisiveness in three samples (a total of 593 college students). Results indicated that fear of commitment was strongly correlated both with other indices of career decisional problems and progress and with measures of psychological maladjustment. Mean FOCS scores increased monotonically with number of college major changes. The construct validity and potential utility of the Fear of Commitment Scale are discussed.
