“…The level of maternal education in the present study was slightly higher than the average of this cohort, where 45% are university graduates. According to Meir's (1978) occupation scale, 23% of the mothers were in semiskilled and skilled professions (e.g., nanny, hairdresser); 29% were in professions that required some academic education (e.g., group leader); and 48% of the mothers were in high-level professions that required an academic degree and involved a significant level of responsibility (e.g., physician, economist).…”

“…Dozens of studies performed on the Ramak show that (a) fields and levels are orthogonal (i.e., independent axes or variables [Meir, 1978]), (b) equivalent test reliability = .76 (Meir, 1975), (c) test-retest correlation after 7 years = .41 , (d) correlation with occupational choice satisfaction after 7 years is .40 for men and .28 for women , and (e) the arrangement of the fields is circular (Meir, 1973(Meir, , 1975.…”

This article suggests that counselors measure vocational interests by using three interest inventories: the Ramak Interest Inventory, the Courses Interest Inventory, and the Self‐Directed Search (Holland, 1985). Some implications from studies on (a) vocational congruence, (b) environmental congruence, (c) the structure of occupational fields and (d) within‐occupation congruence are discussed. Five defense mechanisms for clients who happen to be in an incongruent occupation or environment are presented.

“…The parents’ occupations were ranked according to Row (1956), where professions are divided into fields and the level of necessary skill. Meir (1978) adapted the rankings for use in Israeli society. In the current study, the parents’ occupations were ranked according to Korat and Levin’s (2002) analysis of this ranking.…”

This study examines whether an e-book with a dictionary could support parents’ mediation of new words during shared book reading, more than the child’s independent reading of an e-book with and without a dictionary. The participants included 128 kindergartners and 64 mothers who were randomly divided into four groups: independent reading of the e-book with a dictionary; joint mother–child reading of the e-book without a dictionary; joint mother–child reading of the e-book with a dictionary, and independent reading of the e-book without a dictionary (control). For each target word, the dictionary presented (1) word meaning, (2) word meaning within the story context, and (3) a combined meaning. Pre- and posttests included receptive and expressive understanding of the dictionary words. E-books were read four times. Reading the e-book with a dictionary and maternal mediation was the most effective for receptive and expressive word learning, followed by independent reading with the dictionary. Mothers who read the e-book with a dictionary mediated at a higher level than mothers who read without a dictionary. The intervention contributed to advancement in learning new words beyond children’s initial vocabulary level. The research implications are presented in the discussion.
