Abstract | The present study tested the predictive validity of "Making Better Career Decisions" ("MBCD"), a computer-assisted career decision-making system. Seventy clients who had used "MBCD" six years earlier were interviewed by telephone about their present field of study or occupation and the degree of their satisfaction with their occupational choice. The participants were divided into two groups: one consisted of clients whose chosen occupation was on the list of occupations recommended by "MBCD," whereas the other consisted of clients whose chosen occupation was not on the recommended list. In the first group, 84% were highly satisfied with their occupational choice and 16% were satisfied to a moderate extent. Among those whose chosen occupation was not on the recommended list, only 38% were highly satisfied with their chosen occupation, 44% were satisfied to a moderate extent, and 18% were dissatisfied with their choice. These findings support the predictive validity of "MBCD." Implications for counseling and computer-assisted career guidance systems are discussed. (Author). |
