“…Meir and Glass (1995) presented partial evidence describing the benefits of using more than a single interest inventory. As has been shown before, scores on the Ramak and the Courses are reliable (Meir & Barak, 1974), valid (Meir, 1973;Meir et al, 1994;Peiser & Meir, 1978), brief and easy to interpret (Meir, 1994), and provide information on the client's level of aspirations, vocational interests, and interest crystallization (Meir, 1994). The information that emerges from the combination of the Ramak, the Courses and either the VPI or the SDS of Holland (1985) on the client's aspiration level, as well as field of interest profile and crystallization, can lead to improved conclusions and serve as a basis for career counseling.…”

“…The structure of the eight occupational fields based on Roe's (1956) classification was found to be circular in dozens of studies summarized in a meta-analysis by Tracey and Rounds (1994). More data on the Ramak can be found in Meir and Barak (1974) and in Meir (1973Meir ( , 1994. Data on the Hebrew Courses inventory revealed a median field reliability coefficient of .84 (Meir, 1973), and predictive validity with job satisfaction and with supervisors' evaluations of performance (Meir, Esformes, & Friedland, 1994).…”

“…Successful translation and adaptation would add another useful interest inventory, one with the advantages noted earlier. Elsewhere, Meir (1994) has discussed the advantages of measuring vocational interests using three interest inventories, two ofthem based on Roe's (1956) occupational classification and one based on Holland's (1973Holland's ( , 1985 typology. Meir and Glass (1995) presented partial evidence describing the benefits of using more than a single interest inventory.…”

This article describes the adaptation of two interest inventories translated into English, based on Roe's (1956) classification of occupations. In an analysis based on the responses of 181 participants, the items followed the 6 rules for interest inventory items formulated by Meir and Gati (1981). The Cronbach alpha reliability of the 8 field scores in the 2 inventories ranged between .73 and .91. A Smallest Space Analysis (SSA) on 8 field scores on the Ramak, 8 field scores on the Courses and 6 personality type scores on Holland's (1973) Vocational Preference Inventory (VPI) supported the construct validity of the inventories.

“…An alternative solution for the incongruent member might be to play down his or her activities within the environment and find satisfaction in outside activities (e.g., leisure). This is, indeed, among the defense mechanisms that have been suggested for incongruent situations (Meir, 1994).…”

In the diadic method of measuring environmental congruence (or P-E Fit), the personality type of each individual in an environment is compared with that of each of the others in the same environment, using Holland's typology. Congruence score is defined as the mean of these comparisons, and the environmental homogeneity as the mean of the relevant congruence scores. In an effort to test the efficacy of this method, a study was conducted on 205 participants in 25 environments. Correlations of .22 and .46 were found between diadic congruence scores and satisfaction in individual and environmental analyses, respectively. These figures are similar to the correlations found between homogeneity and satisfaction (congruence and homogeneity correlated .81). A comprehensive interpretation of the findings, relating to environmental importance as well, is suggested.

This article reviews the literature in the areas of theoretical contributions to career development, vocational assessment, individual differences, and career counseling written in 1994. It also reviews relevant career books that appeared on the scene. Areas covered in the review as noted above for the most part are consistent with other reviews and represent the contemporary research thrusts in the field. 98THE CAREER DEVELOPMENT QUARTERLY / DECEMBER 19951 VOL. 44 Osipow, focused on helping women prepare for making future career choices. Nine different areas of consideration were discussed. The first chapter addressed basic concepts that career counselors should be aware of in their work with women, most notably the major barriers to and facilitators of women's career choices. Subsequent chapters examined career assessment and the utility of gender role analysis in the assessment process, the extent to which the career counseling literature and practice have incorporated feminism, the socialization and organizational factors that make dual-career relationships difficult, and the unique considerations involved in the career counseling with ethnic minority women, gifted women, women in science and engineering, and women in management. Still another chapter addressed counseling for career adjustment in the work environment, and the final chapter considered some ways in' which the power structure and socialization practices prohibit women's work conditions from improving.
