Expanding Horizons: A Randomized Controlled Trial on Adolescents’ Career Information Acquisition
通过随机对照试验，研究发现让初中生先探索自身兴趣再按个性化顺序展示职业信息，能显著提高他们对职业信息的获取，并拓宽其关注的职业范围。
We implement a randomized controlled trial to investigate whether students in lower-secondary school more effectively acquire information about potential careerpaths if this information is preceded by a task that allows students to explore their own interests and the career information is presented in personalized order. We find thatself-exploration in combination with the personalized display increases students’ information acquisition. Students also read about more diverse career paths and shift theirfocus from occupations that require university education towards those that require a high-school degree.
