This study randomly assigned undergraduate women at each of three levels of career indecision to a Vocational Card Sort treatment group, a Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory treatment group, or a no-treatment control group. A total of 180 women (20 per cell) voluntarily participated. Career indecision was measured by the Occupational Alternatives Question. A variety of outcome measures were used including items measuring the vocational needs of subjects, the Vocational Exploration Behavior Checklist, the Satisfaction Opinionnaire, and the Satisfaction With Career Scale. The percentage of women who were employed in the expressed vocational choices chosen by the subjects was examined, and two methods of analyzing changes in the expressed choice^ were used. Finally, a method of determining the direction of changes was explored. Overall the results indicated that there were' some modest treatment effects. There was clearer support for the importance of career indecision in relation to the impact of the vocational interventions. These results are discussed and their implications for vocational counseling and future research are examined.

This study randomly assigned reentry women at two levels of career indecision to a Vocational Card Sort (VCS) treatment group, a VCS-plus-videotape treatment group, or a no-treatment control group. Career decidedness was measured by the My Vocational Situation scale (Holland, Daiger, & Power, 1980). A total of 121 women volunteers completed the treatments. One year later, follow-up questionnaires were collected. A variety of outcome measures were used, including items measuring the vocational needs of subjects, the Satisfaction Opinionnaire, the Satisfaction with Career Scale, and the Occupational Alternatives Question. The percentage of women who were employed in the occupations chosen by the subjects was examined. Two methods of analyzing changes in the expressed choices were used. Finally, comments were garnered from the women; a number of these comments are presented in this article. Overall, the results indicate that there were minimal treatment effects. There was clear support for the importance of career indecision and its stability over time. These results are discussed, and their implications for career counseling and future research are examined.
