Significant Difference

An examination of differences in perceptions of self-efficacy between students in CORE-accredited rehabilitation counseling programs and students in CACREP -accredited clinical mental health counseling programs enrolled in practicum/internship classes is absent in the literature. Results indicated there was not a significant difference (p = .05) between the total self-efficacy scores between both treatment groups (CORE and CACREP). Further, there was not a significant difference between helping skills, session management, and counseling challenging situations scores for both treatment groups (CORE and CACREP). Predictors of self-efficacy for CACREP participants consisted of prior work experience in a field other than helping. Predictors of self-efficacy for CORE participants were gender.

The Relationship

In the current work, we investigated the relationship between career decision ambiguity tolerance (CDAT) and career decision-making difficulties among French-speaking university students. In a preliminary validation study ( N = 246), we examined the psychometric properties of the CDAT Scale. Our results showed that the French CDAT Scale had satisfactory levels of scale score reliability, that its factor structure was consistent with the original three-factor structure, and that it had incremental predictive power over general ambiguity tolerance when predicting career decision self-efficacy and career adaptability. In a second study ( N = 412), building on social cognitive career theory, we hypothesized that career decision self-efficacy mediates the relationship between CDAT and career decision-making difficulties. Results were consistent with our hypotheses. Theoretical and practical implications of the results are discussed.

Research Recommendations

AbstractThis article argues that the propensity to perceive impossible challenges as doable is a personality trait, and presents a method for measuring it. The name coined for this concept is “possibilitivity,” a portmanteau of “possible” and “creativity.” Possibilitivity is related to such personality traits as self-efficacy and locus of control. This article shows that this trait is embedded in individual cognitive processes, whilst targeting social issues; in this vein, it may be seen as an important mechanism facilitating change-making and transgressing the seemingly impossible. Methodology for assessing this trait is presented, i.e., the process of constructing and validating a questionnaire, its psychometric properties, and some comparisons within the sample (N = 1117). One of the findings is that women are significantly more prone to perceive difficult challenges as doable than men. Seeing this study as the first step, further research recommendations are presented, e.g., comparing possibilitivity between various segments of society, as well as analyzing potential correlations with other traits, e.g., empathy or ambiguity tolerance.

AbstractOrganizational decision making requires the ability to process ambiguous information while dealing with overload and conflicting requirements. Although researchers agree that ambiguity tolerance is a critical skill for making high-quality complex decisions, few have investigated the effects of ambiguity tolerance on self-efficacy to make complex decisions. In the current experiment, 151 participants were randomly assigned to either a moderate complexity or high complexity decision task. Ambiguity tolerance moderated the relationships between task complexity and self-efficacy, and between task complexity and the accuracy of self-efficacy in predicting future performance. In the highly complex task, individuals with a higher tolerance for ambiguity reported higher self-efficacy and more accurate self-efficacy versus individuals with lower tolerance for ambiguity. In the moderately complex task, tolerance for ambiguity had no effects on self-efficacy or accuracy. Implications for research and practice are presented, along with study limitations.

A technique called proportional random sampling is used. From this technique, about 114 students are concluded. Also, the method of collecting data is using the questionnaire and interview, whereas dual linear regression technique is used as data analysis.Based on the data analysis, the entrepreneurial intention of Engineering Vocational School Students in Tabalong, South Kalimantan can be categorized in medium level. The variable found in earlier hyphoteses leads to a result that the Entrepreneurial Intention is positively affected significant by need for achievement (n Ach) for 0.299 (sig. 0.003); creativity 0.384 (sig. 0.000); independence 0.292 (sig. 0.003); risk tolerance 0.380 (sig. 0.012); ambiguity tolerance 0.491 (sig. 0.011); parental influence 0.242 (sig. 0.049) and self efficacy 0.493 (sig. 0,000). An F-Test is formulated and thus, can be concluded that the variable of need for achievement, creativity, independence, risk tolerance, ambiguity tolerance, parental influence are positively and significantly related to entrepreneurial intention with a value of 34.415 and sig. 0.000. Adjusted R 2 of 0.674 indicates that independent variable stimulateunously affects 67.4% on the entrepreneurial intention of Engineering Vocational School students in Tabalong, South Kalimantan.
