[2] She received the Minnesota Psychological Association Graduate Education Faculty Award in 2011. [3] She received the SCP Elder Recognition Award from the Society of Counseling Psychology in 2015. [4]
Hansen served as President of the American Psychological Association,Division 17 (Counseling Psychology) in 1994. [5] She co-edited The Oxford Handbook of Counseling Psychology [6] and the APA Handbook of Testing and Assessment in Psychology. [7]
Hansen attended the University of Minnesota where she completed a B.A. in 1969,a M.A. in 1971,and a PhD in psychology in 1974. [8]
Hansen received the E. K. Strong,Jr. Gold Medal Award in 1983 to honor her research contributions in the measurement of vocational interests,and the Exemplary Practices Award of the Association for Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development in 1986 and 1990. Hansen also received the Extended Research Award of the American Association of Counseling and Development in 1990 and American Counseling Association Research Award (with Sharon Sackett) in 1996. [9]
Prior to her retirement,Hansen was a member of the faculty in the area of Counseling Psychology at the University of Minnesota,where she served as Director of the Center for Interest Measurement Research. [8] Hansen was an early advocate for the discipline of counseling psychology and served as Editor of the Journal of Counseling Psychology. She emphasized "...[ ] counseling psychology was one of the first areas within applied psychology to devote attention to issues of diversity,social action,and justice;this tradition continues with diversity broadly defined." [10] Hansen was involved in developing a long-standing partnership between the University of Minnesota's Vocational Assessment Clinic and a Neighborhood Involvement Program that provided mental health programs for the uninsured. [11] [12]
Hansen's research explored vocational interests in relation to gender,cultural background,and personality with the goal of using the information to help people make career decisions. In graduate school,she worked with Charles Johansson in exploring vocational interests in relation to personality characteristics,such as dogmatism (i.e.,rigid certainty about the correctness of one's views). In an early study (involving men only),high dogmatism was associated with interests in military,business,and management-related occupations while low dogmatism was associated with interest in arts. [13]
Hansen was involved in updating the Strong Interest Inventory,originally developed by Edward Kellog Strong Jr.,as an assessment of vocational interests. [14] The Strong Interest Inventory has been widely used to identify people's preferred activities as a means of helping them to find suitable careers. [15] Originally called the Strong Vocational Interest Blank,the inventory had separate forms for men and women. In 1974,Hansen was part of the team that published a new version (called the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory) that combined the men's and women's inventories into a single form. [16] With David P. Campbell and others,Hansen wrote the manual,user's guide,and applications and technical guide for the revised Strong Interest Inventory. [17] [18] [19]
Early in her career,Hansen aimed to relate John Holland's vocational model,which delineated six occupational themes (known as Holland codes),to women's responses on the Strong Interest Inventory. [20] Notably,Hansen and her colleagues observed gender differences in the structure of interests using Holland's scheme,even when male and female participants were matched in occupational titles –suggesting that the theoretical model may need some adjustments to better account for women's behavior. [21] Hansen's later work confirmed the stability of the observed gender differences in interests using data conducted over a span of decades. [22]
Hansen collaborated with Thomas J. Bouchard and others on research exploring the vocational interests of twins,including some who had been reared apart due to adoption. This study aimed to estimate genetic and environmental effects on responses to the Strong Interest Inventory. [23]
Psychological testing is the administration of psychological tests. Psychological tests are administered by trained evaluators. A person's responses are evaluated according to carefully prescribed guidelines. Scores are thought to reflect individual or group differences in the construct the test purports to measure. The science behind psychological testing is psychometrics.
Counseling psychology is a psychological specialty that began with a focus on vocational counseling,but later moved its emphasis to adjustment counseling,and then expanded to cover all normal psychology psychotherapy.
The Holland Codes or the Holland Occupational Themes (RIASEC) refers to a taxonomy of interests based on a theory of careers and vocational choice that was initially developed by American psychologist John L. Holland.
John Lewis Holland was an American psychologist and Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Johns Hopkins University. He was the creator of the career development model,Holland Occupational Themes,commonly known as the Holland Codes.
The Strong Interest Inventory (SII) is an interest inventory used in career assessment. As such,career assessments may be used in career counseling. The goal of this assessment is to give insight into a person's interests,so that they may have less difficulty in deciding on an appropriate career choice for themselves. It is also frequently used for educational guidance as one of the most popular career assessment tools. The test was developed in 1927 by psychologist Edward Kellog Strong,Jr. to help people exiting the military find suitable jobs. It was revised later by Jo-Ida Hansen and David P. Campbell. The modern version of 2004 is based on the Holland Codes typology of psychologist John L. Holland. The Strong is designed for high school students,college students,and adults,and was found to be at about the ninth-grade reading level.
Sandra Ruth Lipsitz Bem was an American psychologist known for her works in androgyny and gender studies. Her pioneering work on gender roles,gender polarization and gender stereotypes led directly to more equal employment opportunities for women in the United States.
Career assessments are tools that are designed to help individuals understand how a variety of personal attributes,impact their potential success and satisfaction with different career options and work environments. Career assessments have played a critical role in career development and the economy in the last century. Assessments of some or all of these attributes are often used by individuals or organizations,such as university career service centers,career counselors,outplacement companies,corporate human resources staff,executive coaches,vocational rehabilitation counselors,and guidance counselors to help individuals make more informed career decisions.
Career counseling is a type of advice-giving and support provided by career counselors to their clients,to help the clients manage their journey through life,learning and work changes (career). This includes career exploration,making career choices,managing career changes,lifelong career development and dealing with other career-related issues. There is no agreed definition of career counseling worldwide,mainly due to conceptual,cultural and linguistic differences. However,the terminology of 'career counseling' typically denotes a professional intervention which is conducted either one-on-one or in a small group. Career counseling is related to other types of counseling. What unites all types of professional counseling is the role of practitioners,who combine giving advice on their topic of expertise with counseling techniques that support clients in making complex decisions and facing difficult situations.
