Abstract

In the context of vocational guidance, professional interests and self-efficacy constructs are of great importance to the self-knowledge of the advisees. The present study aimed to verify the relations between the constructs with technologists. 172 students participated, aged between 19 and 57 years. The instruments used were the “Escala de Aconselhamento Profissional” (EAP) and the “Escala de Autoeficácia para Atividades Ocupacionais” (EAAOc). The results indicated correlations between professional interests and self-efficacy with magnitudes ranging from low to high; to the professional interests and sources of self-efficacy, many coefficients ranged from low to very low. This research allowed us to identify other evidence of validity, but further studies with technologists from different courses and educational institutions are recommended.
