Description
Summary:Many vocational psychologists advocate addressing career as well as personal concerns in career counseling.

Results indicated that, whereas role induction was associated with perceptions of students' own career concerns, gender was a strong influence in perceptions of counseling overall and in the stigma associated with a holistic perspective on career counseling.
