Book excerpt: American higher education is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse and researchers have suggested that more attention should be given to better understanding the career development of college students of color. Although there is substantial research on career development and the career decision-making process, studies have overwhelmingly primarily used data collected from White participants. Thus, little research has been done on the career development of people of color and specifically, college students of color. The primary focus of this study was to explore relationships between career decision-making self-efficacy, career maturity attitudes, and racial identity attitudes of college students of color. In addition, the study explored relationships between career decision-making self-efficacy, career maturity attitudes, and various demographic and life experience variables.^A sample of 164 college students of color attending five institutions of higher education in the Western New York area was used for this study. A survey packet consisting of four separate self-report instruments was completed by each participant. This study employed a multiple correlation and regression survey research design which was used to examine relationships between variables. This study generated a number of important findings. First, strong relationships where found between career decision-making self-efficacy and career maturity attitudes for this sample. Second, career decision-making self-efficacy and career maturity attitudes were related both positively and negatively, depending upon participants' current racial identity status, to participants' racial identity attitudes.^Third, participants' age, year in college, academic major, mother's educational level, and family income were predictors of their confidence in their ability to make a career choice that would meet their preferred lifestyle. Lastly, none of the remaining demographic variables were related to either career development construct. This study also explored the implications of the findings on career counseling with students of color, student affairs and academic advising practice, and higher education policy. Overall, this study provides new and relevant information regarding the career and racial identity development of college students of color, a very limited body of scholarly literature.

Book excerpt: This study explored the differences between career decision-making self-efficacy (CDMSE) and perceived career barriers of students enrolled in the applied technology program compared to those enrolled in a college transfer program at a southeastern urban community college. Participants in the ex-post facto cross-sectional survey included 787 full and part-time students at the community college. There were three research questions: (1) Are there differences in mean scores of CDMSE and perceived career barriers of applied technology and college transfer community college students pursuing associate degree, diploma or certificate programs by demographic characteristics (gender, ethnicity, age, first-generational, employment, full and part-time student status)? (2) What is the predictive value of these demographic variables on CDMSE and perceived career barriers of applied technology and college transfer community college students pursuing associate degree, diploma or certificate programs? (3) Is there a relationship between CDMSE and perceived career barriers of applied technology and college transfer community college students pursuing associate degree, diploma or certificate programs? The Career Decision Self-Efficacy-Short Form and Career Barriers Inventory-Revised were administered to participants and data were analyzed using two sample t-tests, ANOVA and multiple regression models. There were significant differences between applied technology and college transfer students in terms of perception of career barriers and career decision-making self-efficacy. The applied technology students, who tended to be older, had higher career decision-making self-efficacy scores than the college transfer students and that did not change across the other demographic variables (gender, etc). The college transfer students, who tended to be younger, had higher perception of career barriers scores, and this did not change across demographic variables. Future research using a qualitat.

McQuade and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The researcher examined the effect of a System of Interactive Guidance and Information (SIGI PLUS) on career decision making and career decision making self-efficacy in freshman male athletes and non-athletes. Thirty freshman male athletes and thirty non-athletes were recruited from Springfield College, Sprinfield, Massachusetts. The subjects were randomly placed in one of two groups: 15 freshman male athletes and 15 non-athletes in the control group (without SIGI PLUS), and 15 freshman male athletes and 15 non-athletes in the experimental group (with SIGI PLUS). All subjects received the Career Decision Scale and The Career Decision Making Self-Efficacy Scale. Results of this study failed to support the hypothesis that SIGI PLUS would have a greater effect on freshman male athletes than the non-athletes. However, SIGI PLUS did have an effect on athletic status in the career decision making group. Freshman male non-athletes had a better score after using SIGI PLUS than the freshman male athletes. A significant effect was also found in the career decision making self-efficacy group.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explored the effects of a semester-long, 2 credit career development course on the undecided college students. Participants included undergraduate students enrolled in the Career Development (COUN 105) class and comparison group students enrolled in Introductory Psychology (PSYX 100), and Intimate and Family Relationship (COUN 295) classes at The University of Montana. Students were assessed at the beginning and the end of the Spring and Fall semesters, 2010 by using the Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (CDSE-SF; Betz & Taylor, 1983), Career Orientation scale, Career Decision Scale (Osipow et al., 1976), and Decisional Process Inventory (Hartung, 1994). The main purpose of this quantitative research study was to determine whether a career development course offered at The University of Montana would have a positive, neutral, or negative effect on career decision-making, self-efficacy, and other career decision making processes among undergraduate students. Based on (MANOVA) results, COUN 105 students significantly increased their sense of career self-efficacy as a function of the course. Based on these results, it was recommended for the development and implementation of career courses for undecided undergraduates become mandatory.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coping and career decision-making have been extensively investigated separately, yet few studies have focused on coping within the context of the career decision-making process. Furthermore, there is a paucity of empirical research regarding optimism within the context of career decision-making. The purpose of this study was to explore the relations among career decision-making self-efficacy, career optimism, coping, and career decision-making difficulties. The findings suggested that students low in career decision-making self-efficacy and career optimism tend to use avoidant coping methods, which, in turn, leads to higher levels of career decision-making difficulties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project explores self-efficacy, which includes career decision-making self-efficacy(CDMSE). CDMSE is individuals' beliefs that they can successfully complete various tasks associated with career decision-making. For many nontraditional student clients, economic and social forces impact the career development process. In response to such forces, adult re-entry students can take practical steps to prepare for finding employment or when unemployment persists. There are significant career decision-making processes incurred by adult re-entry adult students that are not being addressed during their academic preparation planning.
