“…The school heads also ensure that teachers have "bought into" the decision-they were included in the process, and they understand the incentives for them and for their students. The findings support the study of Siebert, et.al (2021) which emphasizes decision training has a positive effect on individuals' decision-making proactivity. The study also found out that the general courses on decision making-that is, as a means to improve individual decision-making skills-are now rarely included in school or university curricula.…”

Agricultural production is highly dependent on the environment and sensitive to environmental changes. During the past time, the changes in natural and socio-economic factors have strongly affected salt production. Thus, salt farmers in Can Gio, Ho Chi Minh City have put great effort into implementing various solutions to overcome the difficulties to maintain production, secure income, stabilize life and preserve traditional occupation. To have a full and systematic view on this issue, a study on the livelihoods of salt farmers in the context of environmental changes was carried out. The study used the social survey method with a sample size of 106 salt-producing households in Can Gio district. Data collection tool is a structured questionnaire and data analysis methods are descriptive and inferential statistics. Results show that salt production is a livelihood that is easily vulnerable to changes in natural and socio-economic factors. As for the natural factors, early and erratic rains are the main risk for salt production. Regarding the socio-economic factors, unstable markets, falling selling prices and increasing production costs bring many risks to salt farmers. They perceive environmental changes and their impacts on their livelihoods. The current livelihood capacities of farmers including financial, technical and institutional capacities for salt production are not high. Solutions implemented locally to deal with negative environmental impacts include adjusting production inputs, diversifying livelihoods and connecting salt production areas with consumption markets.

“…The PDMS allows describing individuals' self-perceived degree of proactivity on six dimensions. Two dimensions, "striving for improvement "(IMP) and "showing initiative "(INI), cover proactive personality traits, which are stable over time (Siebert et al, 2021). Four dimensions, "systematic identification of objectives" (OBJ), "systematic identification of information" (INF), "systematic identification of alternatives" (ALT), and "using a decision radar" (RAD), concern proactive cognitive skills and can be trained (Siebert et al, 2021).…”

At the end of high school, teenagers have to deal with their first life-changing decisions when deciding what to do after having graduated from school. For these decisions, adolescents need to be able to make good decisions. However, most schools have not implemented decision trainings into their curricula yet. A new intervention called "KLUGentscheiden!" was developed to train complex decision-making in high school students to close this gap. The intervention targets three key components of good decision making: envisioning one's objectives, identifying relevant alternatives, and comparing the identified alternatives by a weighted evaluation.We assumed that successfully training those decision-analytical steps should enhance self-perceived proactive decision-making skills. In addition, the training should also enhance self-assessed career choice self-efficacy. The intervention was evaluated in a pseudorandomized control study including 193 high school students. Compared to a control group, the intervention group significantly increased proactive decision-making skills and career-choice self-efficacy. Although different long-term evaluations are still pending, the KLUGentscheiden! intervention could provide an important tool to train complex decision-making in high-school students. In its essentials, it could also be applied to other career choices of young individuals, such as choosing majors, a final thesis, a job, or a field of work.
