Abstract

ResumoA escolha da profissão ainda se apresenta como um desafio nos variados momentos da vida e, por isso, tem sido objeto de investigação para pesquisadores da área. Nesse estudo analisaram-se as diferenças de interesses e personalidade em função do sexo e da série em 122 estudantes do Ensino Médio de uma escola particular do interior paulista. A idade dos sujeitos variou de 14 a 17 anos, sendo 44,3% do sexo masculino. Os resultados apontaram preferência masculina pela dimensão Ciências Exatas e feminina pelas dimensões Artes e Comunicação, Ciências Biológicas e da Saúde e Ciências Humanas e Sociais Aplicadas. Com relação à personalidade, as mulheres se destacaram nas características voltadas para sentimentos de compaixão, ternura e amor, enquanto os homens nas características de persuasão, sedução, comando e independência.

Level of Differentiation of Vocational Interests Profiles: Comparative Study by Age and Schooling in a Brazilian Sample

“…Despite this explanation, these data contradict the results of other studies, which suggested a refinement of the profile with increasing age and work and academic experiences (Donohue, 2014;Godoy & Noronha, 2010;Hirschi, 2010;Huang & Pearce, 2013;Johnson et al, 2014;Louis, 2010;Nye et al, 2012;Sartori et al, 2009;Tracey et al, 2014). Furthermore, by observing the analyses related to schooling, independent of age, the relationships become clearer.…”
