摘要:

Values are widely viewed as central to the selection of, and subsequent satisfaction with, life roles. But because no conceptual framework has been advanced to guide the work of practitioners and researchers, values are widely ignored by both groups. This article sets forth several propositions aimed at remedying this oversight by clarifying the importance of values in both decision making and life satisfaction.

摘要:

Which dimensions (time, opportunity, money, physical, mental, prestige) are most accurately judged across various occupations? Which occupations (e.g., secretary, nurse, truck driver) are most accurately judged across the various dimensions? Students in a rehabilitation program (n= 60) were reasonably accurate on all dimensions except opportunity. They had more accurate information on some occupations (e.g., nurse) than on others (e.g., mechanic). Functional cognition is discussed in terms of prior interest or real‐world contact with these vocational dimensions and occupation

摘要:

Career counselors use occupational information to help clients make informed vocational decisions. They would therefore be likely to benefit from understanding how visual images contained in such materials depict the world of work. A review of the literature on career information, however, reveals a significant lack of study of the visual content of career information materials. By taking account of visual images contained in career information resources, counselors can help clients to more effectively explore imagined versus known attributes of potential career‐related environments. Several avenues for future research are explore

摘要:

This study examined parents' perceptions of sources of career information for their children. A nationally representative sample of parents of high school seniors indicated that persons working in the seniors' career fields of interest, school counselors, schools, books and magazines, and vocational schools and community colleges were viewed positively as career information resources. Implications for career development professionals are discussed.

摘要:

Gender differences in rural eighth‐grade students' curricular, career, and lifestyle expectations were examined. Girls expect to take more math classes in high school, select careers that require a college education, and plan to go to college more frequently than do boys. Boys and girls do not differ in their interest in various careers, although girls prefer occupations that involve people, whereas boys prefer occupations that involve things. Girls plan to work for as many years of their lives as do boys; however, girls are more likely to expect to work part‐time, whereas boys expect to work full‐time. Counseling implications are of

摘要:

The study interpreted scores from career development and role salience measures for 4 groups of underrepresented, at‐risk college students to suggest potentially useful career interventions for each group. Each group's scores required a distinctive interpretation, and the 4 interpretations suggested some common and some distinctive interventions. Because the recommendations obtained from the career measures coincided with recommended interventions for underrepresented, at‐risk students in the literature, the results support further study of the utility of career maturity measures with such populati

摘要:

This study examined the readiness of male intercollegiate varsity athletes to make career‐related decisions. The research questions compared students participating in revenue‐ and nonrevenue‐producing sports as well as Caucasian and minority (Black, Asian American, Hispanic American, Native American, and other) student‐athletes on eight dimensions of career maturity measured by the Career Development Inventory (Super, Thompson, Lindeman, Jordaan,&Myers, 1981). No significant differences were found in the overall career maturity of the student‐athletes based either on the type of sport played or on their race. Also, the interaction of type of sport and race was not significant in determining differences in student‐athletes' career maturity levels. Implications for career counseling programs for student‐athletes and future research

摘要:

This study compared levels of career maturity between college students with and without learning disabilities and investigated factors associated with career maturity. Few differences in career maturity were found. However, different predictors of career maturity for the two groups emerged. For students with learning disabilities, number of accommodations and quantity of work experience accounted for 22% of the variance in career maturity. For students without disabilities, academic achievement and type of work experience accounted for 21% of the variance in career maturity. Students with learning disabilities who received more instructional accommodations had lower levels of career maturity.

摘要:

Students with disabilities at 2 midwestern universities were surveyed as to their use of campus career‐related services, their behavior regarding disability disclosure and accommodations, and their knowledge of ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act, 1990) employment‐related guidelines. The results indicate that most students with disabilities do not use existing career development and employment services on campus. Students frequently disclose their disability to a prospective employer; however, students are less likely to request accommodations on the job. These trends may be explained in part by the student's limited knowledge of their employment rights under the
