Abstract
Abstract A ‘methods’ experiment involving a programme of occupational interest testing and feedback of test information to a group of 72 lower-sixth girls is described. The effect of feedback information on the students' career maturity was measured at the end of the study, using Crites' Career Maturity Inventory (CMI). At the level of main effect, feedback did not have a significant effect on the selected indices of career maturity of the pupils in the programme. Work experience was a significant main effect in relation to the CM1 Attitude Scale and the Choosing a Job competency sub-scales. However, at the level of first-order interactions, a significant relation was found between feedback' and ‘continuity of schooling’ on the Attitude Scale. A significant interaction was also found between feedback' and ‘subject specialism’ in terms of the Knowing Yourself sub-scale. Implications for the school careers guidance programme and for further school-based research are considered.
