Table A.2 Attitudes and beliefs of CareerMotion participants at baseline

Source: CareerMotion baseline survey.

Notes: Overall sample sizes for the control and program groups are 248 and 249, respectively. Sample sizes vary for individual measures because of missing values. Two-tailed t-tests were applied to differences in characteristics between the program and control groups. Statistical significance levels are indicated as * = 10 per cent; ** = 5 per cent; *** = 1 per cent. Rounding may cause slight discrepancies in sums and differences.

Source: CareerMotion baseline and first follow-up surveys.

Notes: Overall sample sizes for the control and program groups are 208 and 174, respectively. Sample sizes vary for individual measures because of missing values. All effects were measured by the number of standard deviations of the scales. Two-tailed t-tests were applied to differences in changes of scales between the program and control groups. Statistical significance levels are indicated as * = 10 per cent; ** = 5 per cent; *** = 1 per cent.
(a) Five-point scale. (b) Seven-point scale. (c) Ten-point scale. (d) Number of activities in the past four weeks. (e) Number of Web sites. (f) Number of activities in the past two months. (+) The higher the better.  (-) The lower the better. (#) 3 is neutral. ($) 4 is neutral.

Source: Calculations based on data from CareerMotion's baseline, first, and second follow-up surveys.

Notes: Overall sample sizes for the control and program groups are 136 and 123, respectively. The estimations of the impacts at the first follow-up survey were based on 127 control group and 113 program group observations. Sample sizes vary for individual measures because of missing values. All effects were measured by the number of standard deviations of the scales. Two-tailed t-tests were applied to differences in changes of scales between the program and control groups. Statistical significance levels are indicated as * = 10 per cent; ** = 5 per cent; *** = 1 per cent. (†) Figures for the first follow-up questions were calculated as the changes of scales from the baseline. The questions were revised to ask for self-assessed changes.
