Reducing Negative Career Thoughts with a Career Course: Technical Report No. 25

Abstract

The effectiveness of a university career development course based on cognitive information processing theory was assessed.Students showed a significant decrease in their negative career thoughts when the Career Thoughts Inventory (CTI; Sampson, Peterson, Lenz, Reardon, & Saunders, 1996a) was used as a pre-test and posttest measure.The greatest decrease in negative thinking was found in students with the highest level of negative thinking at the beginning of the course.Specific components of negative career thinking, decision making confusion and commitment anxiety, contributed significantly to the main effect.There were no significant interactions with race or gender.
