We hypothesized that college major persistence would be predicted by firstyear academic performance and an interest-major composite score that is derived from a student's entering major and two work task scores. Using a large data set representing 25 four-year institutions and nearly 50,000 students, we randomly split the sample into an estimation sample and a validation sample. Using the estimation sample, we found majorspecific coefficients corresponding to the two work task scores that optimized the prediction of major persistence. Then, we applied the estimated coefficients to the validation sample to form an interest-major composite score representing the likelihood of persisting in entering major. Using the validation sample, we then tested a theoretical model for major persistence that incorporated academic preparation, the interest-major composite score, and first-year academic performance. The results suggest that (1) interest-major fit and first-year academic performance work to independently predict whether a student will stay in their entering major and (2) the relative importance of two work task scores in predicting major persistence depends on the entering major. The results support Holland's theory of person-environment fit and suggest that academic performance and interest-major fit are key constructs for understanding major persistence behavior.

“…Generally they all rest on very gross representations of the top few scale scores. Prediger (1982) and Prediger and Vansickle (1992) proposed using the two dimensions of People/Things and Data/Ideas as a means of representing RIASEC scores. Such a representation provides a means of accounting for all the RIASEC scale scores.…”

Several reasons for the modest relation between interest congruence and occupational outcomes are discussed, but focus is placed on possible moderators of this relation. Specifically individual differences, environmental differences and time are proposed as potential moderators. Overall, it is important to investigate theoretically driven moderators of the congruence-outcome relation to further our knowledge of this area.Ré sumé Modé rateurs de la relation congruence des intérê ts-mé tiers exercés. On discute plusieurs raisons permettant de rendre compte de la modeste relation existant entre la congruence des inté rê ts et les mé tiers exercé s, mais l'accent est mis sur les modé rateurs potentiels de cette relation. En particulier, les diffé rences individuelles, environnementales et temporelles sont proposé es comme modé rateurs potentiels. Au total, il est important d'investiguer les modé rateurs de la relation congruence des inté rê ts-mé tiers exercé s soutenus thé oriquement afin d'accroître notre connaissance de ce domaine.

Krueger, Reilly, & Carsrud, 2000) and these exogenous factors cannot work in isolation (Prediger & Vansickle, 1992). Thus, eventually these variables were held in reserve list by scholars for quite a period of time.…”
