| Abstract: | Formal evaluation of two career development seminars was conducted to determine what kind of vocational interventions were helping what kind of people. Students experienced a wide variety of vocational treatments (e.g., standardized inventories, workbooks, writing exercises, discussions, individual counseling) and were asked to rate the helpfulness of each vocational intervention. No interactions between characteristics of students and treatment ratings were found, but an overall main effect of all treatments on raising students' level of vocational identity was found. Suggestions are made for improving the management and evaluation of career development seminars. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
