Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Career decision-making difficulties are frequent problems for adolescents. Regular intervention or prevention programs mainly provide information for the students about themselves, about the world of work, about their interests and preferences etc. Rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT), a form of Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) provides help for adolescents to efficiently cope with emotional problems (e.g., psychological distress) related to the career decision-making process. The present study aims to investigate the efficiency of an REBT career intervention program implemented in a school setting. School settings are appropriate to deliver group intervention for students. Classes from Romanian public high-schools will be randomized in either intervention or treatment as usual groups.
