The results showed there were a significant differences between the average response of the experimental group and the control group in the per-experiment implementation indicating the favor for the experimental group, while no differences among the average responses in the experimental group in cognitive processes associated with career aspirations scale and gender. The results also illustrate that there is a statically significant difference for the effect of interaction between gender and experimental group, on the all the scale domains. The favor was for females. The results were discussed, a number of recommendations and suggestions were given based on these findings.
