“…Reported total score test–retest reliability for a 4‐week period was .89 for the non‐LD college sample and .69 for a sample of high school students without LDs (Sampson et al, 1996). The internal consistency for a sample of undergraduate students without LDs was comparable to that of undergraduate college students with LDs (Dipeolu, 1997; Dipeolu et al, 2002). The current study had alpha coefficients for CTI ranging from .75 to .95, as presented in Table 1.…”

Preparing students with learning disabilities (LDs) to make the transition into the world of work is considered an essential preparation that high schools can provide. However, existing services are limited for career development preparation, and available programs rely on assessments normed for samples of students without LDs. This study examined the predictability of critical career‐related constructs of dysfunctional career thoughts, career maturity, and vocational identity in high school students with LDs, using a sample of 139 such students. Data analyses were performed using multiple regression and t tests. Results indicate that it is possible to predict important career constructs for students with LDs using standardized instruments, which can inform subsequent interventions.

“…In contrast to these views, the literature suggests that research investigating the possible impact of diversity on CTI scores is well under way. Studies of career thinking using the CTI have been reported with respect to disability status (Strauser, Lustig, & Uruk, 2004; Yanchak, Lease, & Strauser, 2005), learning disability (Dipeolu, 2007; Dipeolu, Reardon, Sampson, & Burkhead, 2002; Painter, Prevatt, & Welles, 2008), ethnicity or nationality (Grier‐Reed, Skaar, & Conkel‐Ziebell, 2009; Hirschi & Lage, 2008; Osborn, Howard, & Leierer, 2007), and age (Austin, Wagner, & Dahl, 2004). These studies of career thoughts using the CTI indicate that most attention has been directed at disability status, especially learning disability, with less attention to ethnicity.…”

Students enrolled in a college success course were assigned to (a) a cognitive intervention using the Career Thoughts Inventory (CTI) workbook (Sampson, Peterson, Lenz, Reardon, & Saunders, 1996b), (b) an occupational research project involving an oral report, and (c) a control condition. The workbook condition had a significant effect on the CTI total score, whereas the research condition and the control condition did not. Both workbook and research conditions had a significant positive effect on decision‐making confusion and commitment anxiety.

“…• reduce retention in college (Tinto, 1993) • act as a barrier to productive career planning (Reed, Lenz, Reardon & Leierer, 2000;Saunders et al, 2000) • cause poorer psychosocial adjustment in disabled students (Dipeolu, Reardon, Sampson & Burkhead, 2002) • correlate significantly with higher test anxiety and achievement motivation (Sud & Kumar, 2006).…”

Orientation: Career exploration can be a stressful experience, often manifested by negative career thoughts. In this article, the factors which influence the ability to cope with negative thinking are investigated.Research purpose: This study investigated the relationship between cognitive ability, emotional intelligence and negative thoughts pertaining to career in a sample of unemployed, non-student adults. Motivation for study:There is a need for research which investigates the psychological factors that contribute to successful career exploration and decision-making. Cognitive ability is one such factor, whilst emotional intelligence is another whose validity is not yet well established.Research design, approach and method: A survey design and quantitative procedures were used in gathering and analysing data gathered from 193 non-student, middle-aged adults attending a community-based career exploration programme in British Columbia, Canada. Cognitive ability, emotional intelligence and negative career thoughts before and after a career exploration programme were measured.Main findings: Neither cognitive ability nor any aspect of emotional intelligence predicted negative career thinking change. Cognitive ability predicted overall negative career thoughts as well as decision-making confusion, but only after the programme. The ability to manage emotions, however, predicted negative career thoughts both before and after the career decision-making programme. Practical/managerial implications:The managing emotions component of emotional intelligence is significantly associated with negative career thoughts. These findings suggest that career counselling requires that the role of emotions and their influence on behaviours must be given more consideration. Industrial and organisational (IO) psychologists would benefit from engaging in programmes that train them to assist clients in becoming more aware of, and increasing, their own emotional intelligence. Contribution/value-add:The study added insights to the field of career psychology regarding the ability of emotional intelligence to predict important outcomes regarding the dimensions of emotional intelligence (EI) as measured by a performance-based test predicting negative career thoughts amongst the non-student, adult population.
