Abstract Details

2017, Honors Theses, Ohio Dominican University, Honors Theses.
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between life design’s career counseling techniques and the effect on career indecision and self-efficacy in a sample of 17 senior undergraduates. Rooted in Arthur Bandura’s concept of self-efficacy (1994) and John Krumboltz’s social learning theory (1976), life design, created by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, employs design thinking to create a meaningful life. The study utilized a mix methods longitudinal approach. Participants completed Burnett’s and Evan’s survey during three phases. The survey measured mindset, confidence, and career indecision in relation to life design tactics. Data results revealed increases in self-efficacy, despite job search discouragement during the third phase of the study. The hope is that research from this study may be applicable to career counseling centers, particularly at educational institutions.
