Expected Utility and Sequential Elimination Models of Career Decision Making.
Lichtenberg, James W.; And Others
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v42 n2 p237-52 Apr 1993
Undergraduates (n=101) selected careers using different models: (1) Expected Utility; (2) Sequential Elimination; or (3) unguided selection. Evaluation of decision quality showed the highest payoff from Expected Utility, which differed significantly in terms of frequency of selection of different types of careers. The other models did not differ from each other. (SK)
