“…Some vocational psychologists have taken a dim view of the value of expressed choices. Their utility was deprecated by Strong (1943), Berdie (1950), Darley and Hagenah (1955), and others. Holland's discussion of this topic has largely been based on the empirical evidence of the predictive efficiency of categorized aspirations rather than emphasizing the "agentic" role of aspirations.…”

This article discusses the meaning of vocational aspirations, competency self-estimates, and ability self-ratings assessed by the Self-Directed Search (SDS). It describes views on the role of learning in the development of vocational interests expressed by E. L. Thorndike and E. K. Strong and the more recent views on interest development expressed by J. L. Holland. The article suggests that self-estimates and self-ratings may be interpreted as type-specific self-efficacy expectations as described by A. Bandura and that vocational aspirations may often resemble goals. Evidence of the predictive value of classified aspirations and of self-estimates is discussed. It is concluded that Holland’s theory of vocational personalities provides an organizing typology that is compatible with ideas derived from social-cognitive theory and goal theory, and the SDS provides a tool for assessing constructs drawn from the latter theories.

“…The study of self-estimates of vocational interests has also been characterised by a wide variety of nomothetic studies. These investigations have focused upon subjects' abilities to estimate particular interest scores, for example, Arsenian (1942), Barrett (1%8), Berdie (1950), and Lunneborg (1982).…”

“…Nomothetic studies have made univariate and bivariate comparisons across people using (a) a wide range of statistics such as the contingency coefficient (e.g., Berdie, 1950) or (b) the product-moment correlation coefficient (Bedell, 1941). Another group of studies have combined aspects of both the idiographic and nomothetic approaches through the use of multivariate analyses of self-estimates and inventory responses (e.g., Athanasou, 1980;Athanasou & Evans, 1983;O'Hara & Tiedeman, 1959).…”

The relationships between self‐estimates of vocational interests and inventory scores have been the subject of research since 1941, but to date there has been no comprehensive review of that literature. Thirty‐seven articles relating to self‐evaluation of vocational interests were located in manual and computer searches of the psychological literature. The median values of 24 rank correlations (between self‐estimated and measured interests) derived from 11 idiographic studies ranged from .12 to .77. There was considerable variation in individuals' ability to estimate their own interests. A meta‐analytic procedure was used with 14 separate nomothetic studies (N = 4,282) reporting 316 product‐moment correlations. Correlations ranged from ‐.05 to .89 with a mean of .46 and around 99% were positive. Based on the Schmidt‐Hunter formulae, 13% of the observed variance was accountable for by reference to the expected variance and it was concluded that there were true differences in effect sizes across studies. Results indicated significant differences in the correlations depending on which inventory was used, but did not support any proposed influence of vocational interest areas. It is proposed that in the process of interest assessment, our questionnaires and inventories should be evaluated against self‐estimates.

The relationship between Kuder Vocational scale positions obtained by a rank order method, and ranks obtained from the Kuder Preference Record Vocational Form CH Profile Sheet, was found for 39 male psychiatric patients at a Veterans Administration Hospital. Correlations were significantly higher for valid than for invalid Preference Record profiles, approaching the level of Kuder test-retest reliability. The V scale may reflect in part the confused thinking of neuropsychiatric patients. Validation of this impression must await further research.
