Life projects
This article introduces a comprehensive definition of life projects. It begins with a broad conception of a project as a process comprising the formation, enactment, and maintenance of intentional structures and actions. This definition represents the integration of two theoretical traditions that considered a project either as a process prior to action or a set of actions aimed at the same goals. Next, we differentiate life projects from other t…
Examining Differentiation of Self Within Career Construction Model of Adaptation
The present study examined the role of differentiation of self (DoS) in the career construction model of adaptation (CCMA) using a total sample of 243 married adults. Specifically, career construction theory (CCT) was extended by integrating Bowen family systems theory (BFST) and incorporating DoS as an adaptivity construct into the model. The data displayed a good fit to the model, and all hypothesized associations were supported. The direct pat…
Facilitating Narrative Change in Career Construction Counseling
Career Construction Counseling fosters client change by evoking and elaborating innovative moments in client narratives. In this article, we describe four types of dialogues that counselors may use to prompt narrative novelty and foster client change: (a) identify and evaluate the effects of innovative moments, (b) highlight contrasting self-positions, (c) ask about changes achieved, (d) promote a meta-perspective on change. Vignettes from a case…

Career Construction Theory and Counseling Model
This chapter begins by considering the self-constructing processes with which people make themselves into who they are in terms of cognitive schemas and performing strategies. It relates the actor's behavior, the agent's strivings, and the author's explanations to a discourse that delineates career construction counseling (CCC). The career construction theory (CCT) of self-making and career building highlights the mental processes that individual…
Life Design
A new paradigm is implicit within the constructivist and narrative methods for career intervention that have emerged in the 21st century. This article makes that general pattern explicit by abstracting its key elements from the specific instances that substantiate the new conceptual model. The paradigm for life design interventions constructs career through small stories, reconstructs the stories into a life portrait, and coconstructs intentions …
Career Adapt-Abilities Scale
The 2012 Leona Tyler Award Address
Thomas Kuhn (1996), the historian of science, referred to a paradigm as a pattern of conceptual models and dominant practices that characterize a particular historical period. The present article traces the evolution and compares three major paradigms for career intervention, namely the formist paradigm of modernity’s vocational guidance for the actor, the organismic paradigm of high modernity’s career education for the agent, and the contextual …

Individual Differences in Riasec Profile Similarity Across Five Interest Inventories
The present research indicated substantial variation within the 5 RIASEC (Realistic, Investigative. Artistic, Social. Enterprising, Conventional) profiles obtained by each of 99 individuals who responded to the same 5 interest inventories. The authors concluded that the RIASEC indicators on each inventory probably reflect different portions of the trait complexes denoted by the RIASEC types Furthermore, some amount of the intraindividual differen…
Career Adaptability
The four segments in the life‐span, life‐space approach to comprehending and intervening in careers (individual differences, development, self, and context), constitute four perspectives on adaptation to life roles. Adaptation serves as a bridging construct to integrate the complexity engendered by viewing vocational behavior from four distinct vantage points. To correspond to adaptation as the core construct, career adaptability should replace c…
Predictive Validity of Two Medical Specialty Preference Inventories
Practitioner-based scales containing items related to medical practice more accurately predicted students' medical specially choice than did student-based scales containing generic interest items
Effective Supervision in Groups
In this study, the authors organized group supervision behaviors into categories that represent requirements of effective group supervision. To determine the requirements for effective supervision in groups, the authors collected reports of behaviors exhibited by a physician and a behavioral scientist acting as co-supervisors. These reports were gathered from 84 2nd-year medical students participating in a practicum designed to improve their pati…

Dogmatic Thinking and Communication Skills of Student-Physicians
Medical students' performance on Carkhuff's Communication and Discrimination Indexes improved significantly as a result of a 9-wk. training program. However, students who performed better on these measures in relation to their peers were not more open-minded as measured by Rokeach's Dogmatism Scale
