student feels ill an erroneous choice the harder it will be
for him to change. Also, the finding that level of prestige
of the communicator decreases resistance to change suggests
great emphasis upon the counselor and the quality of the
relationship he is able to establish with the student.
Level of Consciousness and
Significance of Choosing
The students who participated in this present study
obviously perceived the selection of vocation and major as a
difficult and threatening task since they were seeking coun-
seling. Johnson (15) found that "tasks involving difficult
discriminations ... give rise to arousal over and above
that contributed by the reinforcer, . . (15, p. 124).
This suggests that the subjects were performing at a high
level of arousal, beyond even the proportion relative to the
significance of making the best choices of vocation and
major. The act of choosing or making a decision per se
should have increased or aroused emotional excitement in the
subjects.
Antrobus, Antrobus and Singer (1) conducted a study of
"Eye Movements during Daydreaming," the results of which
suggested that rate of eye movement was linked to the rate
of change of cognitive content. However, it was recognized
that the high rate of ocular activity might merely identity
an emotional response to the threat of a difficult task.
