“…Among the notable are: a dichotomous choice questionnaire and divergent occupational groups (Guilford, 1967); a descriptive list of personality traits (Blocher & Shuu, 1961;Kibrick, 1958); the Adjective Check List (ACL) (Gough & Heilbrun, 1965) in testing the assumption that occupational preferences are related to self-descriptions (Hollander & Parker, 1969, or exploring differences in the self-concept and occupational role expectations (Davis, 1969); M. Haire's Pick-A-Job Test used by Grunes (1957) exploring job perception through adjective-like descriptions; a role perception inventory derived from the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (U.S. Department of Labor, 1965) to allow respondents to select tasks as they related to perception of the occupation (Olive, 1964). Other studies of job perception have employed factor analysis techniques (Gonyea, 1961), need scales from the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (Dipboye & Anderson, 1961), stereotype questionnaires (Roe, 1974), and rating scales (Ulrich, Hechlik, & Roeber, 1966).…”

Thirty employment counselors appraised personal and job‐related attributes of rehabilitation counselors using a 67‐item semantic differential stereotype scale. Thirty rehabilitation counselors rated themselves and also how they believed employment counselors would rate rehabilitation counselors on the same scale. The rehabilitation counselors' self‐ratings revealed a generally positive self‐portrait; however, the self‐ratings, when compared to how they believed employment counselors perceived rehabilitation counselors, yielded statistically significant negative relationships on 60 scales. Comparison of perceived versus actual ratings of rehabilitation counselors by employment counselors showed statistically different ratings on 49 scales, all in a positive direction. That employment counselors perceived rehabilitation counselors much more positively than the latter expected helps explain why placement functions and team cooperation are limited among these professionals, and should therefore be increased.

“…The judgements are then analysed so as to interpret the underlying dimensions. This has been done by Vernon (1949), Grunes (1957), Gonyea (1961Gonyea ( , 1963, Coxon (1971), Burton (1972), andSiess &Rogers (1974), mostly using similarity rating. The analyses were subjective (Grunes), factor analytic (Vernon and Gonyea), multidimensional scaling (Burton, Siess BE Rogers) and content analysis (Coxon).…”

Occupational perception and school stream in relation to job classifications, preferences and prestige for 17 year old girls and boys

It is suggested that underlying most occupational classifications is a consensus of job perceptions, which can be reduced from elicited ratings of job similarities to multidimensional diagrammatic representations. Previous work is reviewed. Similarity ratings on 15 jobs, made by 101 Israeli 17 year olds, showed relative homogeneity within Roe, Holland and Flanagan fields, but the postulated order of fields within each system was not supported. Multidimensional scaling analysis yielded a cognitive map of the occupations with four fields which were more homogeneous, and corresponded to school vocational streams. Job locations in the map are unrelated to occupational prestige. Independently elicited desirability rankings, reduced by a novel technique to multidimensional affective representations, yielded the same fields, with jobs arranged differently, so as to correspond strongly to prestige gradients. All results are very similar for both sexes.

“…Job perceptions and occupational stereotypes play leading roles in most current theories of vocational choice. Some writers (Gonyea, 1961;Merwin & DiVesta, 1959) have suggested that occupational roles may be viewed largely in terms of perceived need satisfaction potential. Several recent studies (Gonyea, 1961;Grunes, 1957;O'Dowd & Beardslee, 1960;Walker, 1958) have sought to discover the dimensions by which occupations are commonly perceived.…”

These investigations have differed from earlier studies of job perceptions (such as the long series of rankings of occupational prestige begun by Counts, 1925) in that the subject has been relatively free to choose his own dimensions, or at least to respond to several dimensions.…”

Job perceptions and "occupational stereotypes" play leading roles in many current theories of occupational choice. Case II of Andrews' A-technique was used to explore the dimensions by which occupations are perceived. Factor analysis of perceived similarity among 22 occupational stimuli yielded results corresponding directly to 5 second-order factors obtained in an earlier study which had employed different Ss, a different procedure, and different occupational stimuli. Results also shed light on college students' perceptions of popular vocational objectives and on the relationship between job perceptions and interest factors.
