Abstract
We used a pretest-posttest, control group design to evaluate a psychoeducational career construction counseling course for ninth-grade students at two high schools in Northern Cyprus. The 80 participants were randomly assigned to experimental (n = 42) and control (n = 38) groups. Each group completed pre- and posttest measures of future orientation, career adaptability, life satisfaction, and belief in achieving their dreams. The experimental group received the five-session course, whereas the control group received one session about stress and test anxiety. Results indicated significant increases in scores on all measures for the experimental group only. Future studies should include long-term effects of the group program based on career construction theory.
