“…Interestingly, there were no cultural group differences in Vocational Identity between the Asian Americans and White Americans. This set of findings lends some support to Leong and Morris's (1989) point that career maturity and vocational identity may not be identical constructs even though they are highly correlated ( r = .69). Of course, the quality of the measures is also an issue.…”

This study examined differences in career development attributes and occupational values between Asian American and White American college students using (a) the Crites ' (1978) Asian Americans were found to have greater preferences for Dependent decisionmaking styles and also a lower level of career maturity. No differences in vocational identity were found between the cultural groups. Asian Americans also placed greater emphasis on extrinsic and security occupational value clusters (e.g., making more money, having a stable, secure future) relative to White Americans. The counseling and research implications of the results are discussed.

“…The internal consistency (KR20) of the scale's scores ranged from .86 to .89 (Holland et al, 1980) and the test-retest reliability, for intervals not greater than three months, was .75 (Holland, Johnston, & Asama, 1993). Evidence supporting the validity of VIS can be found in Holland et al (1993), Leong and Morris (1989) and Lucas, Gysbers, Bluescher and Heppner (1988).…”

According to the self-psychology of Heinz Kohut, development of a healthy narcissism that is reflected in a secure sense of self, permits individuals to set and pursue meaningful life goals and maintain a sense ofwell-being, particularly in periods of transition and change. Based on this perspective, the primary purpose of this study was to assess the contribution of goal instability and self-esteem to the vocational identity of Portuguese high school students using a sample of 375 individuals. Additionally, the effect of gender and age on vocational identity was assessed. A regression equation accounted for 32% of the variance of the dependent variable with goal instability emerging as the strongest predictor. Implications for career theory and counseling are discussed.

“…There is some evidence that both rational (Crossley & Highhouse, 2005;Leong & Morris, 1989;Russ, McNeilly, & Comer, 1996) and intuitive (Crossley & Highhouse, 2005) decision-making styles are effective, in the sense of being related to positive career outcomes (although see Phillips & Strohmer, 1982;Singh & Greenhaus, 2004). Thus, they should be related to better A-DMC scores.…”

The authors evaluated the reliability and validity of a set of 7 behavioral decision-making tasks, measuring different aspects of the decision-making process. The tasks were administered to individuals from diverse populations. Participants showed relatively consistent performance within and across the 7 tasks, which were then aggregated into an Adult Decision-Making Competence (A-DMC) index that showed good reliability. The validity of the 7 tasks and of overall A-DMC emerges in significant relationships with measures of socioeconomic status, cognitive ability, and decision-making styles. Participants who performed better on the A-DMC were less likely to report negative life events indicative of poor decision making, as measured by the Decision Outcomes Inventory. Significant predictive validity remains when controlling for demographic measures, measures of cognitive ability, and constructive decision-making styles. Thus, A-DMC appears to be a distinct construct relevant to adults' real-world decisions.
