This article investigates how role induction can be used as a potential method to improve men's perceptions of career counseling. When it comes to work, men place more importance on a successful career than women. Men are taught from childhood that their life should be connected to work. A career creates a sense of identity and self-worth for a man; while for a woman it means supporting herself, socializing and possibly supporting a family. According to this article, research has shown that men do not seek professional advice and that when they do seek help, they tend to focus only on the concern that occurs at the time. Using role induction and holistic career counseling, the authors of this article seek to discover whether men would be more receptive to career counseling if such methods were involved. Role induction involves preparing clients for counseling by informing them of what is happening, the reason for treatment, the process of the counseling program, and their role in the counseling process. The aim of holistic counseling is to treat areas that involve the whole person, physically and psychologically. Combine career and personal concerns. Since men have more negative attitudes towards career counseling, the hope of this research is to demonstrate that with role induction and a holistic approach, men will be more willing to engage in career counseling. Two role inductions were designed in this study. The first was simply a holistic process and the second was the holistic process that also addressed the reluctance of males to participate to get help. Three questions were examined in this study. First, a role induction with holistic measures includes… half of the document… participants' opinions on gender issues and should be assessed after the introduction of the role induction. This study was also limited to the age range of the participants. The opinions of older men, which may vary greatly from those of young college students, were not taken. It would also be interesting to see a comparison between this study and women and their view of career counseling. Women are more “help-seeking” in general, but that doesn't mean they don't have an attitude or stigma towards professional counseling. This comparison would certainly add more weight to the test results shown in this study. Works Cited Kantamneni, N., Christianson, H., Smothers, M., & Wester, S. R. (2011).
