Effect of Positive, Negative, and Mixed Occupational Information on Cognitive and Affective Complexity.
Haase, Richard F.; And Others
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v15 n3 p294-302 Dec 1979

Results are discussed from both theoretical and practical perspectives, especially with reference to the typical occupational information provided in routine vocational counseling. (Author)
