En este trabajo se presenta un estudio de casos cualitativo en el que se analizan las trayectorias de estudiantes universitarios a través de entrevistas autobiográficas. La finalidad ha sido comprender los recursos y estrategias de adaptabilidad que utiliza el estudiantado y su evolución. Las entrevistas se realizaron a 17 personas graduadas en Pedagogía y Administración y Dirección de Empresas. El análisis de las entrevistas se realizó a través de la identificación de las cuatro dimensiones propuestas por Savickas y Porfeli (2012) para la evaluación de la adaptabilidad: Curiosidad, Control, Confianza e Implicación. Los resultados apoyan la aportación del uso de metodologías narrativas en el estudio de las transiciones y la adaptabilidad de la carrera. La discusión se centra en la diferente presencia de estas dimensiones en las trayectorias del estudiantado y las carencias que justifican la necesidad de realizar intervenciones orientadoras narrativas para potenciar el desarrollo de la carrera en la Universidad. This research reports a qualitative case study in which university students’ career paths are analyzed through autobiographical interviews. Seventeen graduates of pedagogic sciences and business administration and management were selected. Our aim was to analyze the students’ adaptabilities and resources to cope with and adapt to changes during their transition processes. A deductive analysis of career adaptability was conducted. The dimensions proposed by Savickas and Porfely (2012) were carried out in order to assess adaptability: Curiosity, Control, Confidence and Concern. The results support the contribution of qualitative and narrative research in the study of transitions and career adaptability. The discussion focuses on the different presence of the four dimensions in each case and justifies the need of developing narrative career interventions at university.

Validation Research

Based upon substantial research on career adaptability, and on specific cross-cultural validation research of the Career Adapt-abilities Scale (CAAS) (Savickas & Porfeli, 2012) we recruited a sample of Greek university students (Ν = 452) in order to test further the Greek form of the scale. Confirmatory Factor Analysis models showed that the four-factor structure was supported for the Greek form, comprising four dimensions: concern, control, curiosity, and confidence. The original six items per dimension structure was also maintained. Internal consistency estimates were satisfactory, and test-retest reliability reached acceptable levels. Indications of convergent validity were found as CAAS positively correlated with self-esteem. To further explore for the construct validity of the scale score differences by gender and year of studies were also examined. Overall, the observed differences were found to be in the expected direction. This validity study indicates that CAAS  may be safely applied to the Greek students.

We explored the effect of the toxic characteristics of the Dark Triad of personality traits, comprising narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy, on proactive career behavior, and the role of career adaptability as a mediator. We used two-wave lagged data from a survey conducted with 449 Master of Business Administration university students in China. Machiavellianism and narcissism were both positively related to proactive career behavior and career adaptability, but psychopathy was not positively related to either. Further, the effects of Machiavellianism and narcissism on proactive career behavior were mediated by career adaptability. Our results show that narcissism and Machiavellianism play a positive role in explaining important career-related behavior. Theoretical implications and directions for future research are discussed.

El objetivo de esta investigación consistió comparar los perfiles de barreras para la práctica de ejercicio físico de estudiantes de universitarios mexicanos. La muestra total fue de 897 participantes, 490 mujeres y 407 estudiantes universitarios de la ciudad de Chihuahua, México, con edades entre los 18 y 36 años. El abordaje adoptado en la investigación se enmarcó dentro de un enfoque cuantitativo con un diseño descriptivo tipo encuesta. Se utilizó un análisis de varianza múltiple (MANOVA) para examinar las diferencias entre mujeres y hombres universitarios en cuanto a la percepción de barreras para la práctica de ejercicio físico. Los resultados del MANOVA mostraron diferencias globales estadísticamente significativas de acuerdo a la variable género en las puntuaciones promedio de los factores del Autoinforme de Barreras para la Práctica de Ejercicio Físico (Wilks’ λ = .884; p < .001). Posteriormente, los resultados de los ANOVAs mostraron que las mujeres reportan mayor presencia de barreras en las cuatro dimensiones estudiadas; ansiedad física y social (F = 40.281, p < .001), fatiga o pereza (F = 94.004, p < .001), obligaciones y falta de tiempo (F = 66.774, p < .001) e instalaciones (F = 20.925, p < .01). Las diferencias encontradas parecen indicar que las mujeres perciben mayor probabilidad en la presencia de barreras para la práctica de ejercicio físico, dificultándoles la práctica de actividad física en mayor medida que a los hombres. Abstract. The aim of this research was to compare the profiles of barriers for practicing physical exercise in Mexican university students. The total sample was composed by 897 subjects, 490 female and 407 male university students from Chihuahua, Mexico, with a mean age of 18 and 36 years old. The research is framed within a quantitative approach with a survey descriptive design. A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to examine the differences between university men and women regarding the perception of barriers for practicing physical exercise. Results from the MANOVA showed statistically significant global differences according to gender in the average factor scores of the Self-Report of Barriers for Practicing Physical Exercise (Wilks' λ = .884; p <.001). Subsequently, the results of the ANOVAs showed that women report a greater presence of barriers in the four dimensions studied; physical and social anxiety (F = 40.281, p <.001), fatigue or laziness (F = 94.004, p <.001), obligations and lack of time (F = 66.774, p <.001) and facilities (F = 20.925 , p <.01). The encountered differences seem to indicate that women have greater probability of perceiving barriers for the practice of physical exercise, making it more difficult for them to practice physical activity than for men.

Qualitative case study research can be a valuable tool for answering complex, real-world questions. This method is often misunderstood or neglected due to a lack of understanding by researchers and reviewers. This tutorial defines the characteristics of qualitative case study research and its application to a broader understanding of stuttering that cannot be defined through other methodologies. This article will describe ways that data can be collected and analyzed.
