  1. All variables presented in Table 1 were included in the statistical procedure. The stepwise variable selection procedure resulted in the final model presented in this Table, including only few variables
  2. aCoefficients obtained through beta-regression model. Negative prefixes indicate an association with a lower score, i.e., with more stability in career intentions; a positive prefix indicates an association with more instable intentions
  3. bP-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The corresponding variables are highlighted in bold print
