Consider the aspects of adaptability measured by the EA scale
Considering the evaluation of the adaptability measured by the EA scale,
several suggestions have also been presented, as well as in the literature,
regarding intervention:
CONCERN
Concern is the basis of planning and guidance, of building a
career. It is an optimistic, forward-looking and hopeful
attitude. Concern and planning about the future avoid
indifference, pessimism, and immobility in the process of
career building.
The use of activities that favour the temporal perspective of
the future, through an increase in anticipation, awareness,
hope and optimism about the future, and the focus on
achieving significant short and medium-term goals can
produce positive emotions and proactive career behaviours.
This implies helping consultants to better anticipate and
understand how people make their career decisions (and
not just what decisions they make) and how they make
decisions throughout their lives. In turn, favouring the
participation and engagement of students in school, in
meaningful and successful experiences and activities,
provides consultants with a sense of hope and planning for
the future. These aspects are an important condition for
students' involvement in career decision-making processes and
their feelings of control and autonomy over their own lives35.
TRUST
It involves testing problem solving and career dilemmas and
the beliefs of self-efficacy in this field. It requires persistence,
initiative and confidence, which can avoid problems of
inhibition, avoidance and low self-awareness, in the
construction of the career19,35.
The use of role-modelling, modelling, and cognitive-
behavioural interventions that help consultants relate current
behaviours to future goals may contribute to increasing self-
efficacy beliefs and positive self-concepts in the career domain.
