Personal Control As A Mediator And Moderator Between Life Strains And Psychological Well-Being In The Unemployed, Peter A. Creed, Dee A. Bartrum
Personal Control As A Mediator And Moderator Between Life Strains And Psychological Well-Being In The Unemployed, Peter A. Creed, Dee A. Bartrum
Dee Bartrum
This study surveyed 214 unemployed adults on well-being, the latent (status, social support, activity, time structure, collective purpose) and manifest benefits (financial strain) of employment, and personal control. We tested whether personal control would predict well-being over and above the effects of the latent and manifest benefits, and tested whether it moderated or mediated the relationship between the latent and manifest benefits and well-being. Personal control explained additional variance over and above the latent and manifest benefits; it moderated the effect of both activity and financial strain on well-being; and it mediated the relationship between financial strain, time structure, collective …

Gender Differences For Optimism, Self-Esteem, Expectations And Goals In Predicting Career Planning And Exploration In Adolescents, Wendy Patton, Dee Bartrum, Peter A. Creed
Dee Bartrum
An Australian sample (N=467) of high school students was administered scales tapping optimism, self-esteem, career expectations, career goals, career planning and career exploration. The study tested a career mediational model based on social cognitive career theory (SCCT) and cognitive–motivational–relational theory (CMR). It was hypothesized that the stable person inputs of optimism and self-esteem would predict career planning and career exploration through the variables of career expectations and career goals differentially for young males and females. For males, optimism and self-esteem influenced career expectations, sequentially predicting career goals, career planning and career exploration. A different pathway was identified for females, with …
Internal And External Barriers, Cognitive Style, And The Career Development Variables Of Focus And Indecision, Peter A. Creed, Wendy Patton, Dee Bartrum
Internal And External Barriers, Cognitive Style, And The Career Development Variables Of Focus And Indecision, Peter A. Creed, Wendy Patton, Dee Bartrum
Dee Bartrum
One hundred and thirty final year high school students were administered scales tapping optimism/pessimism, self-esteem, external career barriers, career decision-making self-efficacy, career focus and career indecision. It was hypothesised, first, that cognitive style (optimism/pessimism) would predict both internal (self-esteem) and external career-related barriers, second, that internal barriers would interact with external barriers and impact on career decision-making self-efficacy, and third, the previously mentioned variables would subsequently predict career focus and career indecision. Results demonstrated that cognitive style was influential in determining the perception of internal barriers (for females and males) and external barriers (females only). Internal and external barriers, along …
Multidimensional Properties Of The Lot-R: Effects Of Optimism And Pessimism On Career And Well-Being Related Variables In Adolescents, Peter A. Creed, Wendy Patton, Dee Bartrum
Multidimensional Properties Of The Lot-R: Effects Of Optimism And Pessimism On Career And Well-Being Related Variables In Adolescents, Peter A. Creed, Wendy Patton, Dee Bartrum
Dee Bartrum
The Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R), measures of career maturity, career decision-making, career goals, and well-being were administered to 504 high school students. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated bidimensionality rather than unidimensionality for the LOT-R, with the two factors of optimism and pessimism being largely unrelated. Those with high optimism reported high levels of career planning and exploration, were more confident about their career decisions, and had more career related goals. Those with high pessimism reported low levels of career and decision-making knowledge, were more career indecisive, and reported low levels of school achievement. For well-being, those with high levels …
