摘要:

This article provides career counselors with a practical procedure, based on decision and information processing theories, for assisting clients in making career decisions. The proposed procedure, which is derived from the sequential elimination approach, considers the individual's limited cognitive and material resources and provides specific guidelines aimed at facilitating career decision making and increasing the quality of the process and its outcomes. The proposed procedure has been found useful in making various types of career decisions.

摘要:

Process‐oriented case analyses, which are the natural next step in understanding career interventions, are beginning to reveal subtle process changes across sessions. In this case, a 37‐year‐old physical therapist, who expressed dissatisfaction with her current position, participated in 8 sessions of individual career counseling with an experienced doctoral‐level career psychologist. The Possible Selves Questionnaire (PSQ; Markus, 1987), the Symptom 90‐R Checklist (Derogatis, 1983), and the Career Decision Scale (Osipow, 1987) were administered at pretesting, after 4 sessions, and at posttesting. Four client‐ and 2 counselor‐process measures were also administered following each session. Results revealed expected changes in traditional outcome measures, and an increase followed by a decrease in future possible selves. Anxiety and vocational information seeking followed a sine‐shaped pattern, and sleep disturbance increased at midcounseling and posttesting. Session depth and smoothness were highest when anxiety and information seeking were lowest. These findings, which coincide with other case study results, were integrated using an activation theory model of career intervention in which moderate anxiety serves as a motivator for constructive

摘要:

This study examines the effects of the use of structuring on participants' impressions of a counselor during an initial career counseling session. A total of 232 undergraduate students viewed a videotape of an initial career counseling session. Both groups observed the identical tape with the exception that one group was additionally shown a brief structuring segment. The 2 groups were compared across the variables of attractiveness, expertness, and trustworthiness as measured by the Counselor Rating Form. The participants were also asked to rate their willingness to see a counselor about a career issue before and after viewing the videotape. Significant differences were found across the dependent measures. Implications of the findings for counselors are discussed.

摘要:

In this study, the authors used case notes to classify client concerns that surfaced during career counseling with adults in a university‐sponsored community counseling center. A two‐stage classification system was developed and used to estimate the frequencies of occurrence for career and personal issues that surface during career counseling. The authors concluded that a substantial overlap exists between the content of career counseling and that of psychother

摘要:

This study explored the differences in coping strategies and styles between students who made congruent, incongruent, and undecided college major choices. The coping strategies were operationally defined by the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ; Folkman&Lazarus, 1988) and the Coping Inventory (CI; Zeitlin, 1985). Congruent, incongruent, and undecided college major choice groups were defined operationally using the Self‐Directed Search (SDS; Holland, 1985b) and the College Majors Finder (CMF; Rosen, Holmberg,&Holland, 1989). The Holland codes that resulted from the SDS and the CMF defined the congruent and incongruent students using the Iachan congruence index. The multivariate analysis of variance revealed significant findings for the main effect of gender on the WCQ. On the CI, the multivariate analysis of variance again revealed a main effect for gender. In general, the findings of this study suggest that male and female students report some different coping strategies and styles. Follow‐up tests further suggest a few group differences among the congruent, incongruent, and undecided stude

摘要:

This study examined the relation between 3 aspects of congruence (vocational, leisure, and skill utilization) and 6 well‐being (or strain) measures (occupational satisfaction, work satisfaction, anxiety, burnout, somatic complaints and self‐esteem). The study was conducted among 120 participants (lawyers, psychologists, and physicians). Findings were that (a) correlations among the congruence aspects ranged between .24 and .36, (b) all correlations between each of the congruence aspects and each of the well‐being measures were in the expected direction, and (c) all 3 congruence aspects showed an additive effect on all well‐being measures. Thus, supportive evidence for the benefits of congruence in its broader meaning wa

摘要:

This article proposes parallels between gay, lesbian, and bisexual identity development and the professional development of gay/lesbian/bisexual‐affirmative, heterosexual career counselors. This perspective gives a developmental framework for understanding the changing feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and actions that accompany the professional, personal, and political growth of heterosexual career counselors who are seeking to become affirmative to career and life planning issues associated with sexual orientatio

摘要:

At‐risk populations pose a major challenge to the counseling profession. This article describes a career development program for at‐risk youth and delineates both the process and the outcomes of a combined quantitative and qualitative program evaluation. The results suggest that at‐risk youth can benefit significantly from this career development program. A combination of work and curricular experiences seemed to be effective with this popul

摘要:

Medcamp, a 3‐day problem‐based career intervention for students entering the 9th grade, implemented each of the 4 antecedents for self‐efficacy. Ten boys and 35 girls participated in Medcamp; of these, 35 completed and returned the Medical Career Self‐Efficacy Scales (developed by the authors for their study) both at the beginning and at the end of the program. Three scales measured specific self‐efficacy (tasks students had performed during Medcamp), related self‐efficacy (other tasks students would complete by the second year of medical school), and general self‐efficacy (included lifestyle variables and study habits). Results demonstrated significant increases in self‐efficacy
