Abstract
The study interpreted scores from career development and role salience measures for 4 groups of underrepresented, at-risk college students t o suggest potentially useful career interventions for each group. Each group's scores required a distinctive interpretation, and the 4 inter pretations suggested some common and some distinctive interventions. B ecause the recommendations obtained from the career measures coincided with recommended interventions for underrepresented, at-risk students in the literature, the results support further study of the utility o f career maturity measures with such populations.
