Participants
A convenience sample of 406 students (51% female) from a public Portuguese university, situated in the north of the country participated in this study. Students were attending the last year of their master's degree programs (postgraduate programs or integrated master's programs, representing, in both cases, a second-cycle degree, of two years duration, in accordance with the Bologna restructuring) in one of four different fields: economics (25%); social sciences (14%); law (13%); and engineering (48%). The average age was 25.60 (SD = 6.62) years old. At the time of participation, these students did not have any internship experience. Work experiences considered in this paper refer to activities resulting from the participants' own initiative and not related to the curricular program.
