“…Vocational interests can be defined as "relatively stable psychological characteristics of people that identify the personal evaluation … attached to particular groups of occupational or leisure activity clusters" (Lowman, 2003). The most prominent theory of vocational interests is the one proposed by John L. Holland (1959Holland ( , 1997.…”

“…Taking just three types of individual difference variables commonly measured in IPAs—occupational interests, abilities, and personality (see Lowman, 1991, 1993)—there is at present greater validation literature within each of these domains than across them. For example, Lowman and Carson (in press) demonstrate the strong and persistent validity for career and work performance issues and reliability of measures from three separate domains: occupational interests (see also Van Iddekinge, Putka, & Campbell, 2011), general intelligence and some of the specific abilities (e.g., Lowman, 1991), and selected personality variables (e.g., Rothstein & Goffin, 2006). However, they note the paucity of what I’ve termed interdomain research, that is, research aimed at establishing the relationships across the three domains of interests, abilities, and personality.…”

Silzer and Jeanneret (2011) note the disparity between industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology's defined competencies in individual psychological assessment (IPA) and the general tendencies of the field not to embrace IPA as an area for training (SIOP, 1999). Most training programs in I-O, they assert, do not include formal IPA training, and there is little evidence to suggest that that is not an accurate description. It follows that the apparently sizable number of I-O and other psychologists who conduct IPAs are largely trained on the job, on their own, or by applying skills learned in other programs in which they may have received training such as clinical or counseling psychology.Arguably, the discrepancy between the rhetoric (''IPAs are part of I-O competencies'') and the reality (''not in this I-O psychology graduate program'') speaks to the ambivalence with which academic I-O psychology actually views the importance and relevance of IPA competencies for I-O psychology graduates. Seemingly, putting this into the job description of I-O psychology lays claim to this domain as an area in which I-O psychologists can legitimately and appropriately practice but apparently not on the basis of anything graduates can

“…This is surprising given that vocational interests and their profiles are considered to be the basis for vocational choices (Volodina and Nagy 2016;Savickas and Savickas 2017) with their measurement as the basis for vocational counseling (Armstrong et al 2008). Vocational interests also predict future vocation (Fouad 1999), field of study (Lowman and Carson 2003) or various employment outcomes (Hoff et al 2018).…”

Many school-age pupils are undecided about their future vocation. This often stems from a lack of occupational information or lack of vocationally related experience. The goal of this study was to develop and evaluate an intervention focused on the possibility of changing vocational interests through the simulation of vocational activities. The sample consisted of 250 pupils who were finishing primary school. The intervention was constructed for practical and artistic interests and consisted of workbooks that aim to simulate these vocational activities. MANCOVA showed no effect in the change of vocational interests among the pupils. An alternative idea of intervention in the form of virtual reality simulations is also presented.
