Effect of a class ‐level intervention on career indecision variables
AbstractThis research examines the effects of a class-level intervention for career indecision variables. A repeated measures intervention study was used to examine the efficacy of a 16-week career exploration course on decreasing career indecision variables. Results showed significant improvement in lack of readiness, choice/commitment anxiety, and neuroticism/negative affectivity. Interpersonal conflicts remained stable. Overall, we found the class-level intervention had a significant effect on decreasing college students ’ career indecision. (Source: The Career Development Quarterly)

Virtual federal work study and student career development
AbstractCollege students participate in work for a variety of reasons and evidence suggests multiple career development benefits from the experience. The COVID pandemic has transformed many of these work opportunities, including the Federal Work-Study (FWS) program. Pilot data from one university in the Southeast suggests comparable career development outcomes between in-person and virtual work-study placements. We consider these data in the context of a necessary and possible transformed work landscape. (Source: The Career Development Quarterly)

Challenges for parents of color in children's STEM career aspiration
AbstractA wide range of resources have been utilized to promote interest and motivation of students of color in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) professions. Parents have a critical role in supporting their children's career interest and development; however, little literature exists on the unique experiences and challenges faced by parents of color who are involved in their children's career exploration in STEM professions. This phenomenological qualitative study examined the experiences of parents of color regarding their (a) knowledge and beliefs about STEM professions, (b) unique challenges in supporti...

Resources to respond: A career construction theory perspective on demands, adaptability, and career crafting
This study tests and extends the career construction theory's model of adaptation and provides valuable insights into the interplay of agency and structure in career self-management. It studies the interactive effect of career adaptability resources with intensified career demands on career crafting by examination of structural predictors for adapting responses, and the role of career adaptability as a moderator between intensified demands and career crafting responses. Using a representative sample of the German working population (N = 2000), the authors test the model with structural equation modeling. Latent structure a...

Career Development Quarterly: Author and article characteristics from 2000 to 2019
AbstractAuthor and article characteristics in CDQ articles from 2000 to 2019 were analyzed for trends over time with a special focus on the past 5 years and upon research articles. At this time (2015 –2019), nearly 60% of CDQ authors are women, and only 5% of authors are not affiliated with a university. Nearly a fourth of all lead authors reside outside of the United States. From 2015 to 2019, nearly 85% of all CDQ articles published were research articles, and qualitative studies increased s ignificantly. Nearly all other methodological, participant, sample, and statistical characteristics were stable over time. Report...

Women of Color and decent work: An examination of psychology of working theory
Abstract
Women of Color (WOC) in the United States experience a unique form of intersecting oppression in the realm of work. Various previous studies have shown that WOC experience work objectively (e.g., wage disparity) and subjectively (e.g., compromised job satisfaction) differently than White women or Men of Color, indicating that WOC is less likely to attain decent work than their counterparts. In the present study, using psychology of working theory as the theoretical framework, we examined the predictors and outcomes of decent work (an aspirational goal for all working individuals) among a sample of working adults w...

The role of developmental assets in childhood career development
This study examined hope as a mediator between school connectedness and childhood career development. Participants included 456 elementary school students in Grades 4 through 6. The results of structural equation modeling supported the hypothesized mediation model, indicating that school connectedness leads to childhood career development both directly and indirectly via hope. The findings suggest that when children feel connected to school, they are likely to demonstrate a greater level of hope, which in turn leads to enhanced career development. The results of this study highlight the importance of developmental assets i...

Career practitioners ’ response to career development concerns in the time of COVID‐19
AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has had a world-wide impact on all areas of individuals ’ health, including physical, psychological, financial, familial, social, and vocational. In the United States, the unemployment rate rose from 3.5% (5.8 million) to 13.3% (21 million) in May 2020 before dropping to 7.9% in October 2020. Cognitive information processing (CIP)is one career theory t hat addresses career needs of clients and society. In this article, we examine the impact of COVID-19 on mental health and wellness, highlight differences for marginalized groups, and demonstrate how CIP theoretical elements may have been impa...

Group career construction counseling with disadvantaged prospective university students
AbstractWe investigated the value of a three-phase, six-step group-based career construction counselling intervention for prospective university students from disadvantaged backgrounds using an integrative, QUALITATIVE-quantitative design. The participants completed measures of career adaptability and career decision-making difficulties before and after the intervention. Results indicated that the girls ’ career adaptability scores increased more than those of the boys. Notable pretest and posttest score differences were also found for both the boys and the girls in all three main career decision-making difficulties cate...

Career adaptability as a mediator between social capital and career engagement
AbstractThe Chinese short form of Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS-SF) is a newly validated scale to measure career adaptability. The present study examined the psychometric properties of this measure and the role of career adaptability as a mediator between social capital and career engagement. Based on data obtained from a sample of 610 university students in Macao, it was found that the scale has good psychometric properties and is suitable for use among college students. In addition, results showed that social capital was moderately correlated with career engagement and the relationship was partially mediated by care...

The role of situational affect in students ’ academic major satisfaction
AbstractWe used survey data to examine the association of situational affect with academic major satisfaction among 386 college students. Positive and negative affect experienced in classes related to students ’ majors were both significantly related to their major satisfaction, with positive affect having the stronger association. A hierarchical linear regression analysis revealed that positive and negative affect each had incremental validity over the other in the prediction of major satisfaction, and this held true even after controlling for students’ perceptions of fit with their majors. The association between pos...

Acculturation moderating between international students ’ career decision‐making difficulties and career decision self‐efficacy
AbstractWe conducted a moderation analysis with a sample of 96 international students in the United States to examine the relationship among three study variables. Results indicated that international students ’ acculturation modes (i.e., marginalization, separation, assimilation, and integration) significantly moderated the relationship between career decision-making difficulties and career decision self-efficacy. This finding not only corroborated the well-documented inverse correlation between career decision-making difficulties and career decision self-efficacy, but further contextualized this relationship within the...

The roles of between ‐ and within‐person self‐knowledge in career decision‐making
AbstractWhile social comparison is likely a common practice in career decision-making, little is known about whether the knowledge products of such comparisons are beneficial and the extent to which they are beneficial. Using a sample of U.S. individuals (n = 296), the current study examined the unique and multiplicative predictions of between-person self-knowledge (i.e., knowledge about the relative standings of attributes in society) and within-person self-knowledge (i.e., knowledge about the dominant areas within psychological profiles) for career decision-making difficulty. The results revealed that between-person sel...
