“…Researchers have also used the working alliance as an instrument in the exploration of the process in career counseling (Heppner & Hendricks, 1995;Multon, Heppner, Gysbers, Zook, & Ellis-Kalton, 2001). In general it was found that clients consider the relationship in career counseling as highly important and that the working alliance was developing over time in sessions.…”

Expectations and experiences of the interpersonal behaviour between the counselor and the client were investigated in an exploratory study, and related to the evaluation of career counseling sessions with adolescents in a secondary school context in Sweden. The relationship was measured by using the Structural Analysis of Social Behaviour model (SASB). In general, positive evaluation as judged by the clients' was found to be related to the clients having more positive expectations and experience of their own and counselors' affiliative behaviour. No positive associations between own expected and experienced behaviour and evaluation were found as judged by the counselors. Affiliative behaviour was found to be the most important dimension in predicting evaluation of sessions in a positive way for the clients.KEY WORDS: career counseling; expectations; experiences; interpersonal behaviour, SASB.The purpose of this study was to investigate interpersonal behaviour in career counseling by comparing expected and perceived interpersonal behaviour during the course of a career counseling session. More precisely, the overall question of this study was: Are there dimensions of behaviours by clients and counselors, in career counseling, that are considered more important in terms of their relationship to client and counselor evaluation of the session? How the clients and counselors' behave towards each other will provide the context in which client change is made possible. Despite the relative importance of the area of reciprocal behaviour and

“…Although a review of studies focused on four-year colleges (Gerdes, & Mallinckrodt, 1994;Kahn, Nauta, Gailbreath, Tipps, & Chartrand, 2002;Korschgen & Hageseth, 1997;Leonard, 2002;Lewallen, 1993;Sullivan & Mahalik, 2000) indicated that an effective process aimed at helping undecided students from a practical and emotional perspective is lacking, the research on incoming undecided community college freshmen is sparse. Multon, Heppner, Gysbers, Zook & Ellis-Kalton (2001), however, found that, like their undergraduate college counterparts, community college students typically experienced varying degrees of anxiety when requesting career-counseling assistance.…”

The purpose of this study was to explore the negative thinking patterns of incoming community college freshmen who were undecided about choosing a major and to suggest an approach for addressing these issues on a community college campus. Sixty community college freshmen attending their freshman orientation (FO) were surveyed using the Career Thoughts Inventory (CTI). Results indicated that the students who participated in the study scored higher on all CTI scales than high school or college students in the normative sample. There were no differences in scores in terms of ages, gender, or ethnicity. These results suggest that community colleges should design programming that can help new students, particularly freshmen; to identify and to address their unconstructive thoughts with the aim of helping these students learn how to manage their anxiety upon entering college. Counselors and advisors should work more collaboratively by shifting from an individual model of delivering services to a more holistic learning approach in order to help students to become more decisive about an educational career path.

“…However, choosing one's future career path can be a difficult and stressful process, due to the very large number of possibilities that are open to young adults and the many considerations that need to be taken into account (Multon, Heppner, Gysbers, Zook, & Ellis-Kalton, 2001;324-335;Sauermann, 2005;273-303). Therefore, it is not surprising that young adults are concerned about their future careers and that many encounter difficulties in making this decision (Gati, Krausz, & Osipow, 2012;510-526;Nurmi, 2000;1-15).…”
