CORTADA DE KOHAN, Nuria. Vocational Choice as a source of stress. Interdisciplinaria [online]. 2004, n.esp, pp.75-86. ISSN 1668-7027.
In many cases of vocational choice the young people show stress symptoms. These do not appear in those students that are able to decide easily which career to chose. We inform here about the comparison of two representative samples of extreme cases. We used three psychometric instruments: the Test of Conflicts of Personality (Cortada, & Kohan, 1998), the Scale EAE to Evaluate Stress (Fernández Seara, & Milgo Robles, 1992), and an adaptation of the Coping Responses Inventory (Moos, 1993). The general results showed significant differences between the two samples. Probably the adolescents who have problems in their vocational choice, only show once more their basic insecurity, and their overt manifestation are the stress symptoms.
