“…While this finding was consistent with the social cognitive assumptions (Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 1994), the self-efficacy -interest association was likely to be underestimated in the current study because interests in multicultural properties, such as the Scientist-Practitioner Inventory (Leong & Zachar, 1991), are used in future research.…”

The purpose of the study is to develop and validate the Multicultural Counseling Self-Efficacy Scale -Racial Diversity Form (MCSE-RD). Theoretical underpinnings of the study were derived from social cognitive theory and the literature of multicultural counseling. Specifically, the MCSE-RD is designed to assess the helping professional's perceived abilities in providing individual counseling to racially diverse clients. Data were collected from 181 graduate students in counselingrelated programs. Results of an exploratory factor analysis retained 37 items and indicated that the MCSE-RD consists of three underlying factors. The MCSE-RD subscale and total scores showed adequate internal consistency and test-retest reliabilities. Also, convergent and discriminant validity was initially supported by differential relations of MCSE-RD scores to general counseling self-efficacy, multicultural counseling competency, and social desirability. Finally, the MCSE-RD scores correlated significantly with demographic variables and educational/training backgrounds. In conclusion, psychometric properties of the MCSE-RD were initially

“…However, this focus on mathematics and science has not resulted in enough students who enter post-secondary engineering programs to meet projected job demands. According to Social Cognitive Career Theory, individuals choose career paths based in part on their interests, attitudes, and values (Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 1994). Further, interest in STEM occupations has been linked to students' knowledge of STEM careers (Robinson & Kenny, 2003).…”

Students' knowledge about a profession influences their future decisions about careers. Research indicates that students tend to hold stereotypical views of engineers, which would hinder engineering as a career choice. The purpose of this study was to measure how participating in a week long engineering summer camp affected middle school students' (N519) attitudes towards engineering and their conceptions of engineering and technology. Results indicate that participation in the programs had a positive impact on the students' understandings of what technology is and the work engineers do. Although the results indicate a positive impact on participants, it is not clear which components of the camp contributed to this change. The partnership between practicing middle school teachers and engineering faculty was important to the success of the camp, revealing the benefits of collaborative efforts between K-12 educators and engineering professionals.

“…En definitiva, la autoeficacia posee un papel importante como mediador cognitivo para la conducta vocacional, contribuyendo a la persistencia y al rango de tareas vocacionales dedicadas a la opción profesional elegida por un sujeto (Pajares y Valiante, 1999). De acuerdo con lo señalado por Lent, Brown y Jackett (1994), la autoeficacia incide sobre los intereses vocacionales, los cuales a su vez determinan las metas de elección y la práctica de actividades vocacionales.…”
