Brief Summary:
Career decision-making difficulties are frequent problems for adolescents. Regular intervention or prevention programs mainly provide information for the students about themselves, about the world of work, about their interests and preferences etc. Rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT), a form of Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) provides help for adolescents to efficiently cope with emotional problems (e.g., psychological distress) related to the career decision-making process. The present study aims to investigate the efficiency of an REBT career intervention program implemented in a school setting. School settings are appropriate to deliver group intervention for students. Classes from Romanian public high-schools will be randomized in either intervention or treatment as usual groups.
Detailed Description:
The intervention will be group based, delivered in 8 sessions, over 8 weeks. Each of the eight modules aimed a different component: Psychoeducation, Information about self and world of work, Steps of career decision-making, Problem solving. Additionally, for the REBT groups: Relationship between cognitive distortions/irrational beliefs and emotions, Cognitive restructuring, Exposure/behavioral activation and emotional problem solving, Maintenance of gaining. Homework would be given at every session. REBT intervention programs delivered in school settings represent ecological modalities to target vulnerable groups. Adolescents will complete assessments at four time points: T1 (baseline), T2 (post-intervention), T3 (3 months follow-up) and T4 (6 months follow-up).
