[i] Note. CIP-56 = Career Indecision Profile, CDSE-SF = Career Decision Self-Efficacy-Short Form, CTI = Career Thoughts Inventory, SWLS = Satisfaction With Life Scale.

*CTI mean scores are calculated from a 1 to 4 response scale, but not the traditional 0 to 3 scale.

[i] Note. CIP-56 = Career Indecision Profile, CDSE-SF = Career Decision Self-Efficacy-Short Form, CTI = Career Thoughts Inventory, SWLS = Satisfaction With Life Scale.

SE = Standard Error. Progress from pre-test is indicated by lower scores for CIP-56 and CTI and higher scores on CDSE-SF and SWLS.

ap < .001. bp < .01. cp < .05.
