CIPPOLA, Nathália Sabaine; DOMENICONI, Camila  and  SCHMIDT, Andréia. Flexibility of assessments about professions following a program in career guidance. Rev. bras. orientac. prof [online]. 2017, vol.18, n.2, pp.166-180. ISSN 1679-3390.  https://doi.org/10.26707/1984-7270/2017v18n2p167.

The way some professions are assessed may interfere with the professional choice of young people. This study aimed to verify the effects of a process of professional orientation (PO) on the evaluation of some statements about professions in six high school sophomores considered flexible and inflexible. Before and after the PO program, the Professional Affirmations Scale and the Rigidity Scale were applied. It was observed that after the PO there were changes in the assessments of the affirmations between participants considered flexible and inflexible; some statements were easier to change than others. The procedure proved to be effective for changes in assay evaluations, and the individuals' previous repertoire seemed to influence the flexibilization of assessments.

Keywords : behavioral analysis; vocational orientation; flexibilization.
