Vocational overshadowing (P. M. Spengler, D. L. Blustein, & D. C. Strohmer, 1990) is a hypothesized underemphasis of clients' career concerns when more interesting, prestigious, or economically rewarding personal problems coexist. This study tested the robustness of the vocational overshadowing bias by using an expanded array of case material, by including practicing counseling psychologists (n = 125) and clinical psychologists (n = 121), and by assessing the moderating effects of clinician informationprocessing and attitudinal characteristics. Clinical psychologists were more likely than counseling psychologists to underemphasize vocational concerns combined with severe noncareer problems. More complex thinking about career counseling and higher preference for working with career problems were associated with greater attention to clients' career concerns. However, no clear evidence was found for the vocational overshadowing bias by either equal or less severe noncareer problems. Implications of these findings for career counseling and clinical judgment research are discussed. In spite of rapid advances in career counseling theory and research (e.g., theory convergence, Savickas & Lent, 1994; process research, Swanson, 1995), questions remain as to whether these and other developments have positively influenced attitudes toward career counseling held by academic and practicing counseling psychologists. Past surveys of counseling psychologists, especially of new graduates (Birk & Brooks, 1986; Fitzgerald & Osipow, 1986, 1988; Goldschmidt, Tipton, & Wiggins, 1981; Pinkey & Jacobs, 198S), report declining interest in career counseling (P. P. Heppner & Neal, 1983; Osipow, Cohen, Jenkins, & Dostal, 1979; Watkins, Lopez, Campbell, & Himmell, 1986; Watkins, Schneider, Cox, & Reinberg, 1987). More recently, M. S. Heppner, O'Brien, Hinkelman, and Flores (1996) found that 42% of students attribute their negative attitudes toward career counseling to derogatory comments made by professors and to boring career courses. Vocational psychologists speculate that these negative attitudes unfavorably influence counseling interventions with all clients because of the inherently integrative nature of work and love (Blustein & Spengler, 1995).
