The study evaluated whether women participating in a career group designed to increase career-related self-efficacy would make gains on career decision-making self-efficacy and vocational exploration and commitment compared with women in a control group. Thir ty-one women participated in a 6-week treatment group, and 30 women participated in a no-treatment control group. Results indicated that, compared with the control group, women in the treatment group improved on career decision-making selfefficacy and vocational exploration and commitment, and maintained those gains at 6-week follow-up. The discussion focuses on implications for counseling, limitations of the study, and future research.
