“…Cooper (1976) found that the addition of auxiliary information material for women to the SCII or VCS significantly affected female clients' career salience but not their career options or exploration. Pilato and Myers (1975) found that giving students accuracy of self-knowledge feedback as well as training in an occupational classification scheme was superior to either one separately for improving the appropriateness of occupational preference level. Westbrook (1972) found that career counseling groups incorporating explicit presentations of occupational information led to greater and longer retention of such information.…”

Presents empirically based recommendations to facilitate the effectiveness of career counseling and career development interventions. Previous evaluations of career interventions are reviewed. The majority of such evaluations focused on only one type of intervention, often not including a control group and only rarely attending to client attributes that might differentially affect the results of the intervention. The present review focuses on all of those evaluations that examined (a) the influence of client attributes on outcomes and/or (b) the differential effects of 2 or more interventions. Reviews of the literature evaluating the effectiveness of educational instruction and psychotherapy provide the empirical bases for specifying contrasting parameters of interventions, and demographic and psychosocial characteristics of participants that may moderate the effectiveness of diverse types of interventions. Recommendations are provided for designing evaluation studies incorporating cost–benefit analyses and for determining the effects of client attributes and differential treatment parameters.

“…A subsequent study by Pilato and Myers (1975), using the same selfknowledge feedback procedure, found that students who received only the computer-generated feedback increased the appropriateness of the level of their primary occupational preference, while students who received both feedback and instruction in occupational classification showed increases in the appropriateness of all their vocational preferences. Appropriateness was determined by explicit comparison between students' measured characteristics and the measured characteristics of occupational norm groups.…”

This article begins with a discussion of issues related to evaluating the acceptance and effectiveness of computerized approaches to counselor training. In view of the paucity of research on the use of computers in counselor training, the discussion focuses on the relationship between what is known about computer‐assisted counseling systems and comparable uses envisioned in counselor training. After discussing the need to evaluate the extent to which both students and educators accept the use of computers in training, the article examines computerized approaches in light of what Loganbill, Hardy, and Delworth (1982) indicate are three fundamental tasks of counselor training; to help students (a) to obtain pertinent knowledge and factual information, (b) to increase their self‐awareness, and (c) to develop skills. The article concludes with a discussion of several research opportunities that are made possible by computer applications to counselor training.

“…The effects of computer-mediated vocational guidance procedures on the appropriateness of vocational pref erences were studied by Pilato and Myers (1975). The study included a control group and three treatment groups: one was provided with computer-generated feedback regarding the accuracy of self-knowledge, the second was taught an occupational classification scheme but given no substantive occupational informa tion, and a third group received both treatments.…”

Chapter 1 HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ON COMPUTER-BASED GUIDANCE AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS By the mid-sixties, the computer had proven its effec tiveness in business and government and was begin ning to do so in education. Early conceptualization of its use in career development was independently pursued by three career guidance theorists. Donald E. Super, in collaboration with Frank Minor of IBM, designed and implemented the Education and Career Exploration System (ECES), which used student grades, ability measures, and interest assessments to suggest occupations for exploration. It helped students do this exploration by providing printed occupational descriptions and work task simulations on slides under computer control.
