- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of an acceptance-based intervention on the career exploration process of Korean college students. For this, 82 Korean college students participated in the experimental study. The participants read a potential negative outcome scenario related to their career decision, and received a randomly assigned intervention (acceptance vs avoidance). Then they sequentially engaged in the career exploration task, the emotional stroop task, and the free recall task. We found that the acceptance-based intervention group sought out more negative career information and decided their career path more quickly than the avoidance-based intervention group. Additionally, the acceptance-based intervention group showed less attention bias to career-related threat words and remembered more career information than the avoidance-based intervention.
