Cross-Cultural Validation of Assessment Instruments Used in Career Counselling and Guidance in the Nordic countries
2020
The cross-cultural application and research on assessment instruments used in career counselling and guidance in the Nordic countries is discussed. Three examples where etic and emic approaches to establish the cross-cultural validity of American instruments in Finland and Iceland are described. These are the Career Thoughts Inventory, vocational interest inventories and a measure of career adaptability. These efforts show that contextual factors influence the responses to imported measures. Emic approaches are needed to fully test the applicability of assessment instruments as well as theoretical constructs developed in other cultures, but used in career counselling in the Nordic countries…

Psykososiaalinen tuki ja ammatinvalinnanohjaus lukion opinto-ohjauksessa : opiskelijoiden ja opinto-ohjaajien kokemuksia
2015
Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin millaista psykososiaalista tukea ja ammatinvalinnan-ohjausta lukion opinto-ohjaus antaa lukiolaisille ja opinto-ohjaajan roolia näiden tarjoajana. Lisäksi tarkasteltiin tutkittavien opinto-ohjaajien työtä ja heidän näke-mystään opinto-ohjauksesta. Tutkimuksen käsittelemät aiheet ovat olleet runsaasti esillä mediassa ja poliittisessa keskustelussa mm. uudistetun korkea-kouluhaun ja nuorisotakuun vuoksi. Aineisto kerättiin mixed methods –menetelmällä. Määrällinen kyse-lylomake kerättiin 144 abiturientilta kolmesta eri lukiosta. Lisäksi jokaisen lukion opinto-ohjaajaa (n=3) haastateltiin puolistrukturoidun teemahaastattelun menetel-mällä. Kyselylomakkeen tulosten pe…
Effectiveness of a web-based acceptance and commitment therapy program for adolescent career preparation : A randomized controlled trial
2021
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) programs have rarely been used as tools for promoting adolescents' career preparation. This randomized controlled trial examined the possibility to promote the career preparation of Finnish ninth-grade adolescents (n = 249, 49% females) with a web-based five-week ACT-based online intervention program. Participants were randomly assigned to three conditions, of which two groups received an iACT including support via SMS (iACTface: iACT+two face-to-face sessions; only iACT: iACT with no face-to-face sessions) and the third (control) group received no treatment. The results showed that career-related insecurity decreased as a result of the intervention i…

Nordic research on educational and vocational guidance: a systematic literature review of thematic features between 2003 and 2016
2018
Educational and vocational guidance has received increased attention with regard to policymaking in the Nordic countries over the last 15 years. This has led to a growing interest in research-based knowledge. Updating an earlier article, we undertake a systematic literature review of guidance research in the Nordic countries during this 15-year period. Features and themes, both country-specific and in the region as a whole, are revealed through the analysis of a variety of research documents. Therefore, this article provides insight into research-based knowledge grounded in the Nordic context—relevant for both practitioners and policymakers on a national, Nordic, and international level. pe…

The Validity of Social Media-Based Career Information
2018
The use of social media expands the availability and sources of career information. However, the authorship of this information has changed from traditional print media and multimedia sources created by experts to social media–based career information created by the users themselves. Although variability in career information validity has been an issue for some time, rapid growth in the use of social media creates some unique challenges. The ease with which social media–based career information can spread creates the potential for rapid widespread dissemination of disinformation and biased perceptions. Potential sources of invalidity include intentional bias (with or without profit motive),…
