Abstract
IN RECENT evaluative studies of guidance programs the attitudes of the persons guided have not in many cases been adequately consid ered by the evaluators. It is felt that studies of this nature are very necessary to a complete evaluation of a guidance program. Glazer and England (2) recently investigated the attitudes of veterans who had completed advisement at the Wayne University Guidance Center. Similar to this was a study reported by Failor and Isaacson (1) in which they compiled the results of studies made in five Veterans Administration Guidance Centers in Colorado. These studies attempted to measure the reactions of a sampling of veterans who completed the vocational advisement procedure. The present study differs from the aforemen tioned studies in several ways. In the first place, all of the subjects for the above studies were veterans; the subjects for this study included both veterans and non-veterans, graduates and drop-outs, and men and women. Secondly, the above studies deal mainly with vocational satisfaction; the present study deals with both the vocational and per sonal satisfactions with guidance. Finally, the subjects in the present study were asked to rate guidance in terms of the amount of help it had been to them in various areas of their post-school adjustment.
