Journal Title: Asian Journal Social Sciences & Humanities - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper examines the effects of a Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy on Filipino students (n=298) from a state university in the Philippines who are experiencing career indecision. Using a Descriptive Developmental method as its research design, the effectiveness of the six-session rational-emotive behavior therapy intervention which included Mastering Ellis’ ABCDE Model, scheduling worry time, refocusing, tapping social support, assertiveness training goal-setting and homework was assessed. It also includes activities that will make group members aware of their irrational beliefs about career exploration and more importantly what they can do to dispute these irrational beliefs and modify them to rational ones. The goal of the intervention is to develop the members’ emotional resiliency to career-related concerns by equipping them with cognitive and behavioral skills that will make them dispute irrational thoughts. This could be done once an individual recognizes irrational beliefs and disputes it by applying Ellis’ ABCDE Model. Triangulation or the collection of information from multiple sources using a variety of methods was utilized. The following sources and methods were used: (1) Career Decision Profile, (2) Evaluation Form and (3) Observation Notes. Results revealed that there is a significant difference in the career indecision levels of the participants. Discussion centers on the theoretical and practical implications of the results.
