Published: December 2011

Este estudo objetivou verificar se as atitudes e os valores dos profissionais que atualmente se inserem ou se encontram no mercado de trabalho são mais aderentes à ideia da carreira tradicional ou à da carreira autodirigida/proteana. Buscou identificar, ainda, as âncoras de carreira dos entrevistados, o grau de satisfação com a carreira, com a profissão e com o trabalho, assim como a relação entre estas variáveis. O instrumento de coleta de dados utilizado foi o questionário, e a amostra foi composta por 113 estudantes de Graduação e de Pós-Graduação Lato e Stricto Sensu em Administração. Como resultado, encontrou-se a âncora de carreira “Estilo de Vida” com a média mais elevada, indicando a tendência de se buscar uma carreira que permita integrar as necessidades pessoais, familiares e de trabalho. Detectou-se aqui uma maior inclinação dos pesquisados para trilhar a carreira autodirigida ou proteana, e não foram encontradas correlações entre âncoras de carreira e satisfação com a carreira, indicando que não h determinada âncora que possa proporcionar maior satisfação profissional do que outra. O estudo contribui com a proposição de questões acerca do perfil de carreira que vem sendo adotado e com a identificação do nível de satisfação do profissional, além de recomendar uma revisão da escala de Âncoras de Carreira, de maneira a aumentar sua confiabilidade.

Published: December 2011

We explored the potential for EXPAREL to interact with lidocaine. Sixty (60) male Yucatan Swine were randomized into 20 groups (/group). EXPAREL (2 or 4 mg/kg) and/or lidocaine HCl solution 1% or 2% (with epinephrine 1 : 200,000) were injected subcutaneously along a 5 cm virtual incision line. The effects on the pharmacokinetics of bupivacaine and lidocaine were examined when 5, 10, 20, and 40 minutes had passed between administration of lidocaine and EXPAREL. Systemic exposure to lidocaine was increased ( by 48%; by 1,640%) when lidocaine (4 mg/kg) was followed 5 minutes later by EXPAREL (4 mg/kg) compared to lidocaine administered alone. Plasma bupivacaine was increased ( by 50–95%; by 67–1,000%) when lidocaine (4 mg/kg) was followed 5 or 10 minutes later by EXPAREL (4 mg/kg) compared to EXPAREL alone. While EXPAREL should not be admixed with lidocaine, this study shows that local administration of EXPAREL after at least 20 minutes following local administration of lidocaine did not increase the release of either drug.

Authors: Michelson Georg , Engelhorn Tobias , Waerntges Simone , Doerfler Arnd
Published: December 2011

Glaucomatous optic nerve atrophy may continue to the linked optic radiation by transneuronal degeneration, as described in animal models of glaucoma. In vivo visualization of the visual pathway represents a new challenge in the field of ophthalmology. We present a new approach for illustration of the optic radiation by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The DTI was established by use of a 3T high-field scanner. The case of a patient with primary open-angle glaucoma is opposed to this one of a healthy subject to demonstrate the visible rarefication of the optic radiation. The goal was to introduce the technique of the DTI also in ophthalmology and to demonstrate that it may be useful to judge glaucoma-related differences.
Novel phenomenological discrete bubble model of freely bubbling dense gas–solid fluidized beds: Application to two‐dimensional beds

Published: January 2012

A phenomenological discrete bubble model has been developed for freely bubbling dense gas–solid fluidized beds and validated for a pseudo‐two‐dimensional fluidized bed. In this model, bubbles are treated as distinct elements and their trajectories are tracked by integrating Newton's equation of motion. The effect of bubble–bubble interactions was taken into account via a modification of the bubble velocity. The emulsion phase velocity was obtained as a superposition of the motion induced by individual bubbles, taking into account bubble–bubble interaction. This novel model predicts the bubble size evolution and the pattern of emulsion phase circulation satisfactorily. Moreover, the effects of the superficial gas velocity, bubble–bubble interactions, initial bubble diameter, and the bed aspect ratio have been carefully investigated. The simulation results indicate that bubble–bubble interactions have profound influence on both the bubble and emulsion phase characteristics. Furthermore, this novel model may become a valuable tool in the design and optimization of fluidized‐bed reactors. © 2012 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2012
Chemiluminescence behaviour of CdTe–potassium permanganate enhanced by sodium hexametaphosphate and sensitized sensing of l‐ascorbic acid
Authors: Chen Hongqi , Ling Bo , Yuan Fei , Zhou Cailing , Chen Jingguo , Wang Lun
Published: January 2012

A highly sensitive flow‐injection chemiluminescence (FIA‐CL) method based on the CdTe nanocrystals and potassium permanganate chemiluminescence system was developed for the determination of l‐ascorbic acid. It was found that sodium hexametaphosphate (SP), as an enhancer, could increase the chemiluminescence (CL) emission from the redox reaction of CdTe quantum dots with potassium permanganate in near‐neutral pH conditions. l‐Ascorbic acid is suggested as a sensitive enhancer for use in the above energy‐transfer excitation process. Under optimal conditions, the calibration graph of emission intensity against logarithmic l‐ascorbic acid concentration was linear in the range 1.0 × 10−9–5.0 × 10−6 mol/L, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9969 and relative standard deviation (RSD) of 2.3% (n = 7) at 5.0 × 10−7 mol/L. The method was successfully used to determine l‐ascorbic acid in vitamin C tablets. The possible mechanism of the chemiluminescence in the system is also discussed.

Microparticle delivery of Interleukin‐7 to boost T‐cell proliferation and survival
Authors: Wang Nick X. , Bazdar Douglas A. , Sieg Scott F. , von Recum Horst A.
Published: January 2012

In HIV infections, homoeostasis of T cells is dysregulated such that there is a depletion of CD4+ T cells and a progressive loss of naïve CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Methodologies that can improve the function of some or all of these cells will likely enhance immune responsiveness in HIV infection. Interleukin‐7 (IL‐7) is a cytokine that has been shown to be critical in homeostatic expansion of naïve CD8+ and CD4+ cells in lymphopenic hosts, as well as regulating effector T cell to memory T‐cell transition and memory T‐cell homeostasis. In animal studies and clinical trials, repeated injections of IL‐7 are used to boost both CD4+ and CD8+ cell counts. Daily injections, however, are painful, inconvenient, and provide a frequent route for pathogen entry. We developed a poly (D,L‐lactide‐co‐glycolide; PLGA) microparticle controlled release system to administer IL‐7 in which a single injection of microparticles can provide therapeutic delivery of IL‐7. IL‐7 encapsulated PLGA microparticles were first synthesized using a water/organic/water double emulsion method, release from the particles was then optimized using in vitro release studies and therapeutic effectiveness was finally studied in animal studies. These PLGA microparticles showed effective delivery of IL‐7 for 1 week in vitro. These results were translated to in vivo delivery as well, which was followed for 9 days. Controlled release of IL‐7 in mice demonstrated biological activity in both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in mice, which was consistent with previously reported results using daily injections. Biotechnol.

New routes for the preparation of highly active TiO2‐supported Cu and CuZn catalysts have been developed for CO coupling reactions. Slurries of a titania precursor were dip‐coated onto glass beads to obtain either structured mesoporous or non‐porous titania thin films. The Cu and CuZn nanoparticles, synthesized using a reduction by solvent method, were deposited onto calcined films to obtain a Cu loading of 2 wt %. The catalysts were characterized by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy, temperature‐programmed oxidation/reduction (TPO/TPR) techniques, 63Cu nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning and transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM‐EDX) and X‐ray photo‐electron spectroscopy (XPS). The activity and stability of the catalysts obtained have been studied in the CO Ullmann coupling of 4‐chloropyridine and potassium phenolate. The titania‐supported nanoparticles retained catalyst activity for up to 12 h. However, catalyst deactivation was observed for longer operation times due to oxidation of the Cu nanoparticles. The oxidation rate could be significantly reduced over the CuZn/TiO2 catalytic films due to the presence of Zn. The 4‐phenoxypyridine yield was 64 % on the Cu/nonporous TiO2 at 120 °C. The highest product yield of 84 % was obtained on the Cu/mesoporous TiO2 at 140 °C, corresponding to an initial reaction rate of 104 mmol gcat−1 s−1. The activation energy on the Cu/mesoporous TiO2 catalyst was found to be (144±5) kJ mol−1, which is close to the value obtained for the reaction over unsupported CuZn nanoparticles (123±3 kJ mol−1) and almost twice the value observed over the catalysts deposited onto the non‐porous TiO2 support (75±2 kJ mol−1).

Suspended particles and dissolved substances in water provide reactive surfaces, influence metabolic activity and contribute to the net sediment deposition. It therefore plays an important part in the ecology and quality of the water mass. The water quality in reservoirs is crucial and it is naturally maintained by flushing and sedimentation, which continuously remove phosphorus from the water. In some reservoirs, however, these removal processes are countered by recycling of ions which could play a key role to start and/or maintain the eutrophic state. The combination of macro‐, trace‐ and microanalysis techniques can be useful to trace pollution sources through a chemical fingerprint, whether be during an acute environmental disaster or a long‐term release of pollutants. The water quality and total metal content of reservoir sediments were assessed in a reservoir, situated in the capital of the Paraná State, in the South‐Eastern part of Brazil. The goal of this paper was to determine the metal presence in the sediment and metal and ionic speciation in the Green River reservoir water. Water and bed sediment samples, collected from various sites during 2008 and 2009, were investigated using XRF, ICP‐OES, ICP‐MS, XRD and zeta potential measurements. Based on the results, the heavy metal concentration and chemical composition of the suspended matter in the water samples, as well as the sediment's chemical composition will be discussed.

Published: January 2012

BACKGROUND:

Tumor neovascularization (TNV) is a common pathologic basis for malignant growth and metastasis. However, the mechanism of TNV pathogenesis is not fully understood. Ras homolog gene family, member A (RhoA), a Rho guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) family member, may be involved in a hypoxia‐induced vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway that regulates TNV angiogenesis through an unclear mechanism.

METHODS:

The regulation of RhoA on p53, the p53 binding protein homolog murine double minute 2 (MDM2), and VEGF was analyzed in hypoxic MCF‐7 cells using Western blot analysis, real‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis, coimmunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence staining assays. Changes in proliferation, invasion, migration, stress fiber formation, and tube formation were detected in an MCF‐7 human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) coculture system. Correlations of RhoA expression with MDM2, wild‐type p53 (wt‐p53), and VEGF expression in breast cancer tissues and relations between RhoA and breast cancer clinical features were analyzed by immunohistochemistry.

RESULTS:

Activated RhoA down‐regulated p53 protein, which increased VEGF expression in hypoxic MCF‐7 cells; whereas p53 messenger RNA levels were not altered. In addition, the ubiquitin‐mediated degradation of p53 was enhanced by active RhoA. RhoA and MDM2 colocalized in the cytoplasm of hypoxic MCF‐7 cells and interacted with each other physically. Furthermore, nutlin‐3, a specific MDM2 inhibitor, was capable of reducing activated RhoA‐induced p53 protein stability and attenuating VEGF accumulation. In an MCF‐7‐HUVEC coculture system, nutlin‐3 effectively inhibited HUVEC proliferation, invasion, migration, stress fiber formation, and tube formation mediated by activated RhoA under hypoxic conditions. Data from 129 clinical breast cancer specimens with wt‐p53 revealed that high RhoA expression was correlated with high MDM2 expression, low wt‐p53 expression, and high VEGF expression.

CONCLUSIONS:

The current data suggested that activated RhoA promotes VEGF expression and hypoxia‐induced angiogenesis through the up‐regulation of MDM2 to decrease p53 stability. Cancer 2012. © 2012 American Cancer Society.
Bone pattern formation in mouse limbs after amputation at the forearm level
Authors: Ide Hiroyuki
Published: January 2012

Background: Although urodela amphibians completely regenerate amputated limbs, the potency of limb regeneration in mammalians is very low. In mice and humans, a digit tip regenerates, but no regeneration beyond the digit joint occurs. In this article, we describe the induction of bone formation by BMPs in the forearm, a more proximal region, of neonatal mice. Distal halves of the radius and ulna were removed from limbs amputated at the wrist level in advance, and gelatin rods containing BMPs were grafted in the space of the forearm. BMP‐7 and BMP‐2 were effective. Results: The induction of bone formation depended on the amount of BMP‐7 in grafted gelatin gels. BMP‐7 at over 320 ng/limb induced long bones within 10 days. Cartilage formation was always observed before the bone formation as in the case of normal limb development. The origin of cells responsive to BMP‐7 is not clear, but the formation of large bone tissues in a relatively short time suggests a wide distribution of precursor cells in the limbs. Grafting of dye‐stained mesenchymal tissue fragments suggested that mesenchymal tissues other than the dermis, bone, and joint cartilage are responsive to BMP‐7 and form cartilage/bone. Two long bones induced were arranged in parallel fashion in many cases like the radius and ulna. An agonist of hedgehog promoted the formation of bones in the presence of BMP‐7. Furthermore, bone elements were fused to stump bones to form a single bone. Conclusions: The results suggest the potency of bone pattern regeneration in the amputated forearm of a neonatal mouse.

Authors: Diebold Carine , Becht Jean‐Michel , Lu Jinni , Toy Patrick H. , Le Drian Claude
Published: January 2012

A short and efficient synthesis of a heterogeneous palladium catalyst supported on a rasta resin bearing diphenylphosphanyl ligands is reported. This catalyst was used successfully for Suzuki–Miyaura reactions of aryl bromides in the presence of only 0.25 milli‐equiv. of supported palladium. The catalyst was reused several times with no loss of efficiency, and the amount of palladium leached in the reaction medium is extremely low (< 1 % of the initial amount).

Published: January 2012

New acetylcholinesterase biosensors have been developed on the base of screen‐printed electrodes modified with Co‐phtalocyanine and polycarboxylated thiacalixarenes as enzyme support. The biosensors showed improved operational and analytical characteristics and high accuracy of the signal measurement. The biosensors developed made it possible to detect 3–200 ppb of paraoxon and 1–50 ppb of malaoxon with detection limits down to 2 and 0.05 ppb, respectively (incubation time: 15 min). The influence of macrocyclic receptors was related to nonenzymatic accumulation of the analytes within the surface layer and electrostatic interactions with remaining free carboxylic groups of the support. The reliability of the inhibition measurements was confirmed by testing spiked samples of sparkling and tape waters.
Lattice Boltzmann simulation of heat conduction problems in non‐isothermally heated enclosures
Authors: Mondal Bittagopal , Chatterjee Dipankar
Published: January 2012

A numerical study following the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is performed to solve transient heat conduction problems with and without volumetric heat generation/absorption in 2D and 3D Cartesian geometries. Uniform lattices are considered for both geometries. To validate the correctness of LBM, a finite difference method (FDM) is also used to solve the 2D problem without heat generation/absorption and results are compared with that of LBM. For both 2D and 3D geometries one of the walls is heated and cooled with a sinusoidal function and the rest of the walls are cooled isothermally. Effects of amplitude of the sinusoidal function and volumetric heat generation/absorption on temperature profiles are analyzed. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Factors in Scholastic Performance: The Behavior Differential
Authors: Williamson Raymond G. , Cole Charles
Published: January 2012

30 matched pairs of high‐ and low‐achieving high school students were differentiated by total score of a semantic differential composed of evaluative terms descriptive of student behavior. Teacher rating was highly effective in discriminating between the groups, and a correlation of .79 was observed between teacher rating and cumulative grade point average. Other comparisons indicated that low‐achieving students misperceived the attitudes of their teachers. Attention was called to the saturation of high school rank with nonintellective factors, and implications for counseling intellectually able, low‐achieving students were discussed.
Recommended Curricular Change and Persistence in College
Authors: Marks Edmond , Ashby Jefferson D. , Noll Gary A.
Published: January 2012

Counselor judgment regarding the appropriateness of student curricular choice and the strength of counselor commitment to that judgment were related to student persistence in college. Students who failed to change curricula when the counselor felt such change was indicated remained at the University a fewer number of terms than any of the other groups studied. Sex of student and strength of counselor judgment regarding curricular choice were also significantly related to persistence, although strength of counselor judgment regarding curricula choice was best treated as moderating the relationship between student behavior in relation to counselor judgment and academic performance. Results were discussed in terms of objectives and procedures of counseling with respect to academic performance.
Wistful Wish: Evaluation Without Values
Authors: Edgar Thomas E.
Published: January 2012

Two recommendations from a recent statement of standards for counselor education are examined for underlying philosophical assumptions. The first recommendation, that counselors should possess ability for and conduct scientific research, assumes that the counseling process is lawful and orderly, that theoretical concepts can be operationally defined and that empirically testable predictions can be derived from counseling theories. A second recommendation suggests that counselors‐in‐training be selectively admitted and retained. Underlying this recommendation is the assumption that counseling is a process of influence that can be evaluated. Such evaluation must be based on conditions outside the counseling relationship, in the social context of the life of the client. The serious implications of these assumptions are illustrated and discussed.
Proposals for Interest Test Development and Experimentation
Authors: Miller Adam W.
Published: January 2012

6 proposals were suggested as a guide to interest‐experimentation and test construction. (1) An adequate theory of interests should be developed and used as a guide for experimentation and test construction. (2) Basic unitary variables should be identified. Factor analytic evidence was presented for 6 well‐established interests measured by the SVIB, KPR, and KIT. (3) Relationships of basic interest variables with other personality variables should be identified. (4) Academic achievement should be a major criterion variable. Data were presented showing significant interest correlations with college grades, interacting with test characteristics. (5) Experiments should investigate multiple variables and their interactions. (6) Only after implementation of the previous proposals should investigations consider antecedent conditions, genetic factors, and learning processes.
The Place of Counseling in the Preparation of Student Personnel Workers
Authors: Parker Clyde A.
Published: January 2012

The nature of preparation of student personnel workers is currently under discussion. Because of the variety of settings within higher education in which student personnel workers function and the specialized nature of their functions, their preparation should be different from counseling psychologists. Consideration is given to the possible conflicting nature of the student personnel worker's commitment to the institution and his commitment to individual students. The inadequacy of a philosophy of counseling based on radical individualism is discussed. An attempt is made to formulate a consistent and integrated rationale for student personnel work. The position is taken that education as a counselor, based upon an adequate philosophy of individual development within lines that will benefit the whole society, is crucial to adequate functioning as an effective student personnel worker.
A Humanistic and Experiential Approach to Personal Development
Authors: Privette Gayle , Merrill Charles H.
Published: January 2012

A community junior college made humanistic concepts and experiential methods the bases for a personal development course which was staffed by professional counselors. The course was designed to permit flexibility in content and class activities which were directed toward the personal growth and intellectual development of individual students, each with unique needs. Small, unstructured discussion groups and individual papers and projects were deliberately placed outside the grading context to encourage active student involvement. The experimental course was evaluated in regard to such questions as the following: Can humanistic and value‐oriented course content stimulate intellectual development and personal growth on the part of junior college students? Are didactic and experiential methods compatible in a classroom setting? Can counselors teach and maintain effectiveness as student personnel workers?
Adapting a College‐Level Occupations Course to Meet Expressed Student Needs
Authors: Salinger Malcolm D.
Published: January 2012

Detailed reports on college‐level courses in occupations are not readily accessible to those persons who wish to establish a program of this nature. The development of such a course is described in this article. Its planners found that students preferred the use of small‐size discussion groups and outside resource persons, rather than the previous more‐traditional and structured presentation. When students were involved in the preliminary planning stage, in which their expressed needs were learned, a more effective program was obtained.
Physical Facilities for Elementary School Counseling
Authors: Nelson Richard C.
Published: January 2012

This article describes 3 desirable counseling centers for elementary schools with student populations of four to eight hundred. Adaptations for schools outside these population limits will readily be seen. 4 assumptions about the counseling setting are discussed: that it should (1) be attractive, (2) permit group as well as individual counseling, (3) encourage the use of play media in counseling, and (4) permit observation of counseling. Functional aspects of the counseling setting are presented in diagram and outline form. It is hoped that this presentation will encourage dialogue relative to the setting for elementary counseling, and that some direction may be found by those who are planning counseling offices or centers.
Student Attendance at University Co‐curricular Activities
Authors: Johnson F. Craig
Published: January 2012

Over 18,000 students at Michigan State University reported their attendance at 46 campus events. Student characteristics were analyzed in terms of student attendance patterns. The 46 events were grouped into 4 independent categories that were attended by students with different characteristics. Students who attended cultural events were mostly single upperclassmen majoring in liberal arts; musical events were attended mostly by music majors; those attending athletic events tended to be single male undergraduates from the more applied disciplines; and social events were attended mostly by undergraduate girls.
Improving Prediction of Academic Achievement for Transfer Students
Authors: Lunneborg Patricia W. , Lunneborg Clifford E.
Published: January 2012

The most widely used index for admission of transfer students, grade‐point average at prior college, was found to be minimally correlated with subsequent grades. Better predictors of transfer GPA were high school GPA and scores on tests of English usage and mechanical reasoning. While based on 260 transfers at one university, these results suggest that a combination of other academic and intellective variables should replace the traditional transfer predictor—a C average at some other school.
Job Satisfactions and Job Activities of School Counselors
Authors: Hansen James C.
Published: January 2012

This study examined the relationships among the job satisfactions and job activities of 168 school counselors. An intercorrelational matrix was developed using personal data, 8 job‐satisfaction dimensions, and 6 job‐activity areas. Establishing and maintaining staff relationships and providing guidance services to individual students were the activities most related to the job‐satisfaction dimensions. Promoting the general program was not significantly related with any job satisfaction. Some differences between men and women counselors were found in both job satisfactions and activities. The student‐counselor ratio was relevant to the activities of the counselors but not related to their job satisfactions.
Vocational Choices in College
Authors: Berger Emanuel M.
Published: January 2012

Our society presses unreasonably on students to “know” what they want to do vocationally. The pressure is unreasonable, especially when applied to high school seniors and college freshmen, because most of them have not yet learned enough about themselves or about occupations to be able to make a first, satisfying choice. And especially they have not learned enough about the nature of their limitations in college‐level work. As a result, many students commit themselves to vocational choices prematurely and then perceive the experience as a “failure.” Students should be encouraged to consider any early decision as tentative, a choice to be tested, confirmed, or disconfirmed. They should be relieved of pressure to “know” what they want to do, and helped to see their task as one of confirming or discovering what they want to do by way of a process of exploration, experimentation, and personal development that may go on through their lifetime.
School counselors, leave home
Authors: ZERFACE JAMES P. , COX WALTER H.
Published: January 2012

This article discusses the dilemma of the “noncounseling counselor,” and suggests that the counselor be relocated at an organizational base external to the school since there are factors inherent in many school systems which influence the counselor to compromise his counseling objectives. Removed from the school, the counselor might operate more effectively as an agent of a more comprehensive community organization such as a human development center.

Published: January 2012

This article reports the results of a survey of the departments of education in 50 states and the Virgin Islands. The purpose of the survey was to ascertain current teaching requirements for counselor certification and what changes states plan to make in those requirements in the future. About two‐thirds of the states presently require a teaching background; an additional fourth requires either teaching or some alternative; and one in seven requires no teaching background. Some 18 states are considering possible alternatives to their teaching requirement.
To leave a scratch on the wall: getting published

Published: January 2012

Published writers are motivated, knowledgeable, and skilled. So are many writers who don't get published. The differences between the two, the author proposes, are matters of kind rather than degree, and she suggests some practical ways of reducing those differences. The purpose of the article is twofold: to encourage more people to submit manuscripts to journals and to reduce the number of poorly written manuscripts submitted.
Rethinking Change in Counseling
Authors: SREBALUS DAVID J.
Published: January 2012

The idea of change is one of the most fundamental concepts underlying practice in counseling and guidance. Yet the complexity of change, as it applies to people, is seldom examined in detail by the counseling practitioner. The author discusses the concept of change through its definition and looks at different forms of change, different change tempos, and the value of change for people. He concludes with a change position that attempts to identify the counselor not only as a change agent but also as a preservationist.
Counseling implications of recent research on women
Authors: OLIVER LAUREL W.
Published: January 2012

The growing concern for women and women's rights has been reflected in an increasing amount of research on women. As counselors may be unaware of the results of this research and its implications for counseling, the author surveys some of the recent investigations in four areas: counselor bias, demographic changes, sex differences, and sex‐role stereotypes. After providing a review of the research in each area, she discusses implications of the findings. The author also makes specific suggestions for counselors who wish to confront some of the issues raised by recent research on women.
Preparing Students for the Worst: The Power of Negative Thinking
Authors: Fogle Dale O.
Published: January 2012

Helping students be prepared for an uncertain future is difficult. Generally speaking, we counselors are least helpful in preparing students for unhappy eventualities: academic failure (failing an exam or flunking out), vocational failure (unemployment, change of career direction), social failure (rejection, loss, loneliness), or even unhappiness itself. If unprepared for, such future eventualities can be a source of present anxiety and fear‐motivated, over‐protective life‐styles or of defensive denial and unrealistic hopes. As helpers, we may collude with those who ignore or deny and offer the anxious a kind of positive thinking that again fails to prepare them for the worst. In contrast, some negative thinking or contingency planning for otherwise fearful possibilities may help to undercut anxiety, restore motivation to move forward and take risks, shift attention from future‐oriented coping to living creatively in the present, clarify priorities and values for life planning, and generally expand behavioral freedom and flexibility. This article emphasizes the use of constructive negative thinking in preparing students for life both in and beyond the classroom or the ivory tower.

Authors: Boy Angelo V. , Pine Gerald J.
Published: January 2012

The counseling aspect of the counselor's role has been eroded recently by a number of negative influences. If this erosion is not halted the counselor will not have enough time to counsel because of an overinvolvement in noncounseling activities. Counselors must focus on and preserve counseling as their primary function if the counseling profession is to have a clear identity.
Systematic Counseling: The T‐F‐A Model for Counselor Intervention
Authors: Hutchins David E.
Published: January 2012

Counselors in educational settings are usually not free to select the kinds of clients and problems with which they may work most effectively. Therefore, counselors must select counseling strategies that maximize the probability of helping all clients achieve personal goals. These strategies may focus primarily on changing how clients think, feel, or act (T‐F‐A). Combinations of thinking, feeling, and acting strategies are illustrated along with relationships to different counseling theories. Effective counselors need to systematically use varying combinations of T‐F‐A strategies that will be of maximum value in helping individual clients to change their behavior.

The Forgotten Facilitators: Human Relations Training for Support Personnel
Authors: Heitzmann Dennis
Published: January 2012

Lamb and Rapin's (1976) ecological model for categorizing and evaluating student development services emphasizes the total environment of the student service as critical to the students' receptivity to and ultimate success in counseling. The adjunct role of the support staff in the creation and maintenance of a generally positive milieu is often assumed or ignored. To remedy this situation, a staff development program was implemented to (a) provide recognition of the support personnel's necessary involvement in and contribution to the division's mission, (b) develop human relations skills, and (c) facilitate increased understanding and communication between the professional staff and the support staff.
Co‐Training: A Collaborative Model
Authors: Chadbourne Joan W. , Stack‐O'Sullivan Deborah , Mahoney James T.
Published: January 2012

In personal growth groups, collaborative co‐training means not only the presence of two or more leaders, but also an interaction between or among the leaders that provides the groups with a model of cooperation and mutual learning. A synergy results that energizes the group. Necessary skills for collaborative co‐trainers are flexibility, consensual decision making, the ability to learn from one another, and the ability to develop an intimate communication system. This article describes a collaborative model, the skills needed, the advantages of co‐training, and the dimensions of co‐trainer selection.
Students' Reactions to Groups in a University Counseling Center
Authors: Gottsdanker Josephine S. , Forslund Charles W. , Gravitz Herbert , Woods Ernest
Published: January 2012

This article describes an evaluative study of students' reactions to three types of groups—assertiveness training, personal growth, and ethnic rap—offered by a university counseling center. A 16‐item questionnaire distributed to 130 group participants yielded 90 usable returns. Chi‐square calculations comparing the responses of the three types of groups revealed statistically significant differences between them on eight of the 16 items. Samples of the responses to the open‐ended items convey the flavor and feeling tone of the reactions to the group experience. One of the notable results of the study was the development of a new group intended to integrate the most useful elements identified by the students' reactions.

A TARGET FOR CRITICS
Authors: Paterson Donald G.
Published: January 2012

Surprise at the methods followed and vigorous dissent from the conclusions reached are greeting the publication of the Thorndike study of the possibility of predicting vocational success. The subjoined review by Dr. Paterson criticizes the investigators for failure in so elementary a matter as the establishing of adequate criteria of vocational success. From across the sea comes a review of the sort commonly characterized as “devastating.” Written by Angus Macrae of the British National Institute of Industrial Psychology, published in the organ of the Institute, The Human Factor, and here reprinted by permission, the article points out—we quote from its own introduction—that the methods used in the Thorndike experiment “are a travesty of scientific vocational guidance.” It adds: “The failure of such methods was to be expected; but it is quite unjustifiable to argue from their failure to the uselessness of vocational guidance in general.” Dr. Paterson agrees. His review precedes that of Mr. Macrae.

OBJECTIVES OF EXPERIMENTAL GUIDANCE PROGRAMS
Authors: Kefauver Grayson N. , Hand Harold C. , Block Virginia Lee
Published: January 2012

The various types of evaluative studies of guidance which have been published were classified and discussed by Grayson N. Kefauver and Harold C. Hand in an article, “Evaluation of Guidance Programs,” in the March issue of Occupations. A paper on “Proposals for a Program of Evaluation of Guidance,” presented by Professor Kefauver at the meeting of the National Vocational Guidance Association at Cleveland in February, giving further details of the threefold investigation referred to in the opening paragraph of the present article, and setting forth the need and the difficulty of such evaluation, appears in the September number of The School Review. Evaluation of anything is impossible without a definite determination of the purpose or purposes of the thing to be evaluated. In the subjoined article are listed 15 objectives which have been accepted for the investigation now under way.
BUT IS IT TRUE?
Authors: Hoppock Robert
Published: January 2012

This is not the first time that Dr. Hoppock has displayed a wholesome skepticism in these pages. Last April he called attention to some popular misconceptions regarding occupational ability patterns. Now he questions certain other assumptions. When he has gone in this way as far as he can we shall be glad to give him an opportunity of completing the circle by printing an article on “Doubtful Doubts: Some Apprehensions Concerning Certain Uncertainties.”
A Director of Guidance Puts Some Pertinent Questions to Program Makers
Authors: Bittner Margaret A.
Published: January 2012

One swallow does not make a summer—although it has been frivolously remarked that one grasshopper may make a dozen springs. No more (keeping our eyes on the swallow) does a course in occupations make a vocational guidance curriculum. How much more complicated the matter is than that, is shown in the series of questions which form the heart of Miss Bittner's letter. She does not demand a comprehensive program all at once, however, but suggests specific improvements in the existing plan of study.
