consent for the research, the initial text pages may have been a deterrent. The online

intervention could also be adapted to use only postmodern, narrative exercises and

activities. While the current project indicated that the combination of traditional and

postmodern approaches was successful, it would be helpful to see if narrative activities

would stand alone.

 Further study could also be done to see how the outcomes of this intervention

compare with other career-related online tools. Rather than using control groups and

pretest/posttests, further research could focus on comparing outcome measures for this

intervention with widely-used assessment instruments such as the Strong Interest

Inventory, the Campbell Interest and Skills Survey, or the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.

 The sample populations should be expanded to include both younger and older

populations. It would also be interesting to examine the exercises included in the

intervention on an individual basis to see if particular exercises were more helpful than

others. Removing ineffective exercises may help to reduce the length of the intervention

and the incompletion rate. In addition to the impact on clients, it would also be important

to evaluate the perceptions of career counselors as to their impressions of the usefulness

of the tool in their own practice. These analyses should include both objective factors

such as those measured by the Career Decision Scale (CDS) and subjective factors such

as participant satisfaction.

 Finally, future research may focus on personal differences that may impact the

results or acceptance of the intervention. For example, would this type of intervention be

more popular with a particular gender, ethic group, personality type, or discipline? A

much larger group of completed interventions would be required for this level of analysis,
