Forty past and present career advisors in a university career center participated in an exploratory study of the relationship between the independent variable of career advisor conceptual level and the dependent variables of number of goals listed on an Individual Learning Plan (ILP), number of interventions listed on an ILP, amount of time needed to select career interventions, and the amount of additional information requested on a Follow-Up Questionnaire. Conceptual level was measured by the semi-projective instrument, the Paragraph Completion Method (PCM). The ILP used in this study was adapted from the ILP used by career advisors in this setting. The Follow-Up Questionnaire was created for this study and was partially validated in a pilot study. / A multivariate multiple regression technique was employed to analyze the overall significant relationship between the independent variable and dependent variables by testing for the significance of the regression of each dependent variable separately across the independent variable. / No significant relationship was found using the multivariate technique analysis. Additional T-test analysis found significant differences for gender for the variable of number of interventions selected. These findings are discussed along with other demographic characteristics in the supplemental findings. / The findings and limitations of this study, and their implications for career advisor training, service delivery and future research were also discussed. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 54-11, Section: A, page: 3991. / Major Professor: Robert Reardon. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1993.
