The validity of the Holland and Basic Interest scales of the Strong Vocational Interest Blank: Leisure activities versus occupational membership as criteria

This study compared leisure activities with occupational membership as criteria for determining the concurrent validity of the Holland and Basic Interest scales of the Strong Vocational Interest Blank (Form T399). Subjects were 89 thirty-six-year-old males representing a variety of occupations. R. H. Dolliver's (Journal of Counseling Psychology, 1975, 22, 199–203) two methods for assessing validity were used: highest single scores on relevant scales and scores above established cutoff points on relevant scales. Results indicated greater congruence between interest scales and occupations than interest scales and leisure activities, except when Basic Interest scale cutoff scores were used. After chance factors were taken into account, Holland scales were found to be more accurate than Basic Interest scales in identifying occupations and in identifying leisure activities when highest scale scores were used. Using cutoff scores, Basic Interest scales were more accurate than Holland scales in identifying leisure activities. Supplementary analyses indicated that the validity of the Holland and Basic Interest scales increases when they are presumed to reflect either current occupation or preferred leisure activity. Results of this study were compared with Dolliver's (1975) findings.     

职业心理综合测验的编制

1 .前言　　职业心理综合测验是用于职业指导和职业招聘的综合性心理测验 ,包括职业兴趣测验 ,职业能力倾向测验和职业人格测验。根据人 -职匹配理论 ,个体差异是普遍存在的 ,每一个个体都有自己的个性特征 ,而每一种职业由于其工作性质、环境、条件、方式的不同 ,对工作者的能力、知识、技能、性格、气质等心理素质有不同的要求。进行职业决策 ,如选拔、安置、职业指导时 ,就要根据一个人的个性特征来选择与之相对应的职业种类。实践表明 ,一个人的能力特点和个性特点与他所从事的工作的匹配程度 ,直接影响着工作的成效。虽然能力可在实践…     

职业兴趣的结构：理论与研究

有着近70年历史的职业兴趣结构的研究丰富与发展了其理论,这些理论主要包括：Roe的圆形模型、Holland的六边形模型、Prediger的维度模型、Gati的层级模型以及Tracey-Rounds的球形模型。总结比较这些不同的职业兴趣结构的研究发现,Holland的六边形模型更适合于美国样本(非种族样本)群体,而其他的模型则有待于进一步的考察。研究还表明没有广泛适用的职业兴趣模型,因此,职业兴趣的跨化研究应深入探讨与验证。     

Factor structure of the Vocational interest models of Roe and Holland

Analyses of interscale relations in 235 college students for the Vocational Preference Inventory and Vocational Interest Inventory, based on interest models of Holland and Roe, respectively, suggest that the twodimensional, circular configuration of occupational or personality types may be an oversimplification which impedes the understanding of the structure of vocational interests. For both interest models four orthogonal dimensions seem necessary to capture interindividual variability: Social vs. Technical, Organizational vs. Outdoor, Science vs. Business, and Artistic.     

当代大学生职业兴趣的结构与测量

该研究考察了我国当代大学生职业兴趣的结构,并编制出相应的测量工具.首先通过开放式问卷调查、文献调研,以及对已有测评工具中条目的整理,构建出职业兴趣描述库,再以此为基础编制自陈式职业兴趣调查表,对大学生的职业兴趣结构进行初步探索,得出九个维度,分别命名为研究型、艺术型、展示型、社会型、冒险型、企业型、常规型、现实型和生态型.其次通过验证性因素分析方法检验测验的构想效度,结果发现各指标拟合良好.此外,实证数据也表明测验具有良好的同质性信度和重测信度.研究结果证明大学生职业兴趣调查表具有较好的心理测量学品质,可应用于实践领域.     

关于我国学校职业指导中的心理测验

1　前言　　无论在西方国家 ,还是在我国 ,关于心理测验的争议一直存在 ,有时甚至很激烈。但是 ,只要我们能够正确地看待和使用心理测验 ,心理测验仍然不失为科学地、客观地评价人的心理素质的一种重要手段。心理测验在学校职业指导中的运用 ,大大地推动了学校职业指导的发展。在历史上 ,我国学校职业指导中虽然很早就应用心理测验了 ,但始终得不到重视。这可能与时代的背景和人们的观念有关。本文结合我国学校职业指导中应用心理测验的历史和现状 ,介绍了心理测验在学校职业指导中的重要作用和意义 ,旨在引起有关方面的注意和重视。2　心理…     

The Superiorities of Form M of the Strong Vocational Interest Blank

Form M of the Strong Vocational Interest Blank was suppressed. For it was substituted the Strong-Campbell, which retained only the item format and one part of the logic of the original. Whereas Strong structured his test around 11 job families emerging from Thurstone's factor analysis, the Strong-Campbell uses concepts derived from Holland's armchair view. Some occupational scales have been lost and some added. Consistently with sexual politics, each scale is now scored twice. Old goring services' franchises have been ended, new ones let, the most consequential move being the cancelling of the only service that gave same-day scoring. The dropping of scales for executive jobs has severely lowered the occupational level at which counselors can work. The loss of the job families has reduced predictive range. Feedback sessions are less fertile, perhaps because they take place fortnight after the test. Separate studies showed that Form M predicted well for 14 and 40 years into the future. The power of its substitute remains to be seen.

Interest Patterns Associated with Measures of Social Desirability

This study summarizes the analysis of the interest patterns of 1,777 elementary and junior high school students as related to a sociometric device and teachers' ratings. The subjects were asked their preferences in terms of class interests, television viewing habits, music listening preferences, study preferences, study habits, vocational plans, and choices of reading as distributed over comic books, magazines, and literary books. In addition, demographic and employment data were obtained. A number of dropouts were identified four years later and their responses on these measures were compared with students who remained in school. The results of the study indicate that sociometric status and teachers' ratings as measures of social desirability do differentiate between certain interest patterns and these patterns are associated with a broad extroversion-introversion continuum. Dropouts were found to differ on certain of these measures.     

Interest Patterns of Health Services Administration Graduate Program Alumni

In 1975 134 men and 102 women entering 37 graduate health services administration programs voluntarily completed the merged form of the Strong Vocational Interest Blank. This article describes the general pattern of mean scores on the basic interest scales for these alumni and discusses differences in interests by sex. The results indicate high alumni interest in areas related to the activities and functions of health services administrators. Implications for using this information for career planning when working with clients and recommendations for future research are discussed.     

Construct validity of four basic Vocational Interest factors

To find evidence of the generalizability of four interest factors established for tests within the Roe-Holland framework, factor scores derived from a Vocational Interest Inventory grounded in Roe's system were correlated with the empirically based Strong-Campbell Occupational scale scores. For this sample of 300 counseling clients, a majority of the hypothesized relations were found, and arranging the occupations along these bipolar dimensions both sharpened the definitions of the factors and provided an additional interpretive aid for counseling.     

Seeing through The Bell Jar: Investigating Linguistic Patterns of Psychological Disorder

As a means of conveying difficult personal experiences, illness narratives and their analysis have the potential to increase awareness of patients' lives and circumstances. Becoming sensitised to the linguistic texture of narrative offers readers a means of increasing narrative understanding. Using the fictional narrative of The Bell Jar, this paper outlines a novel method for exploring the language of illness narratives. Corpus stylistics provides new insights into narrative texture and demonstrates the importance of recurrent linguistic features in shaping meaning. The paper concludes by proposing the application of a similar methodology to non-fictional illness narratives in therapeutic contexts.
