A forty-year follow-up on the vocational interests of psychologists and their relationship to career development.

Concurrent validity of the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory for graduate students in counseling.

“…Studies to date of counselors and/or counseling trainees have focused primarily on counselor needs and personality characteristics (Heikkinen & Wenger, 1973;Randolph, 1973;Randolph, Caston, & Wright, 1977;Rowley, 1975) and on the relationship of these to counseling effectiveness (Jackson & Thompson, 1971;Jansen, Robb, & Bonk, 1970Loesch, Crane, & Rucker, 1978;Rowe, Murphy, & DeCsipkes, 1975;Tinsley & Tinsley, 1977b). And although some research has examined the vocational interests of psychologists in general (e.g., Campbell, 1977;Kriedt, 1949;Vinitsky, 1973), only Dolliver and Worthington (1981), and Tinsley and Tinsley-(1977a) have investigated the vocational interests of counselors or counseling trainees. No study to date has used the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory in the examination of the interests of counseling trainees; because the SCII provides General Occupational (i.e., Holland) Theme scores as well as the Basic Interest and Occupational Scale scores available on the Strong Vocational Interest Blank, it offers a potentially broad view of these interest patterns.…”

Career counseling: beyond “test and tell”

“…While the most common activity was counseling/ psychotherapy (as might be expected), it was also the most widely varied in terms of time spent. These observations, along with those of a longitudinal study relating Strong Vocational Interest Blank profiles to major professional activities over a 40-year period (Vinitsky 1973), strongly suggest that counselors should constantly keep in mind (a) the wide latitude of behaviors available within a given occupation and (b) the importance of viewing a career as a series of potentially changing jobs or positions providing the opportunity for involvement in a large variety of professional activities.…”

Changement vrai et stabilité vraie pour des scores RIASEC de Holland

“…Selon Tracey et Sodano (2008), il existe au moins quatre méthodes pour examiner le processus de stabilité et de changement dans le temps : la stabilité structurelle, la stabilité absolue, la stabilité du profil et la stabilité relative. Toutes sont basées sur la méthodologie test-retest et l'intervalle entre les deux tests peut varier de deux semaines (Ihle-Helledy, Zytowski et Fouad, 2004 ;Johansson et Campbell, 1971 ;Primé & Tracey, 2010) à plusieurs décennies (Campbell, Borgen, Eastes, Johansson et Peterson, 1968 ;Rottinghaus, Coon, Gaffey et Zytowski, 2007 ;Vinitsky, 1973). Certaines études longitudinales ont inclus trois occasions ou plus (Darcy et Tracey, 2007 ;Helwig, 2003 ;Swanson et Hansen, 1988 ;Tracey et Robbins, 2005a ;Tracey, Robbins et Hofsess, 2005b).…”
