| Abstract/Description: | This study evaluated the effects of DISCOVER for Adult Learners and SIGI PLUS on career decidedness, vocational identity, and perceptions of computer use for 116 adults seeking services at a self-help oriented career center. Adults were randomly assigned to either DISCOVER for Adult Learners (DAL), SIGI PLUS, or a control condition that involved unstructured use of print and AV materials in a university career center. Use of DAL and SIGI PLUS by adults resulted in positive gains in vocational identity. Subjects in the control condition and subjects using DISCOVER experienced a significant increase in career decidedness. Adults perceived both systems as having a positive impact on three dimensions of computer effectiveness, Analysis, Synthesis, and Computer Effect. The conclusion was that computer-based interventions are equivalent to more traditional career interventions. Implications of these results for practice and further research are discussed. | |
