“…For instance, personality traits develop differently throughout life (Srivastava, John, Gosling, & Potter, 2003), yet they were consistently shown to form two higher order factors (Digman, 1997, Schermer & Goffin, 2018. On the other hand, Vianello et al (2018) reported that prosocial orientation and transcendent summons showed small second order loadings in college students and adequate loadings in a sample of workers. Altogether, these results may support the hypothesis that prosocial orientation and transcendent summons become part of a calling during a later stage of its development.…”

“…Sixty-nine percent were females, and 38% were employed. A second article (Vianello, Dalla Rosa, Anselmi, & Galliani, 2018) has been published that reports the analyses that were run to validate the multidimensional measure of calling that we employ in the current article. Details on this work, including the open access article and the public data set, can be found here: https://osf.io/viwsu/.…”

“…The UMCS measures seven facets of calling: passion, purposefulness, sacrifice, pervasiveness, prosocial orientation, transcendent summons, and identity. The scale underwent an extensive validation study (Vianello et al, 2018), which provided evidence of satisfactory to excellent reliability and convergent, discriminant, and predictive validity.…”

There are many open questions concerning the development of calling, and longitudinal empirical evidence is limited. We know that a calling is associated with many beneficial outcomes, but we do not know how it changes through time and what predicts these changes. Previous studies have shown that calling is relatively stable at the sample level. We show that, at the individual level, calling shows huge variations through time. We identified nine developmental trajectories that are typical across facets of calling, and we found evidence that the development of a calling is fostered by the extent to which individuals have lived it out. We also observed that the more a calling has grown over a 2-year period, the more it is lived out during the third year. These results provide support for a developmental model of calling according to which having a calling and living it out reciprocally influence each other. The practical and theoretical implications of these results are discussed.

“… The dataset includes open-text answers that can be qualitatively analyzed to develop new hypotheses about the origin of a calling among college students and is currently, to the best of our knowledge, the only open access dataset that provides repeated measurements of career calling. Scientists interested in the longitudinal study of vocational behavior, in higher education, in statistics and in independently reproduce the results reported in [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] can benefit from these data. …”

This dataset provides de-identified raw responses to a non-anonymous three-wave online survey with a 12-month time lag. Data collection was part of a larger project on the development of career calling in Italian college students. The first wave was collected during the fall of 2014. Participants were bachelor's or master's students enrolled in 24 different study domains and 4 different universities. Sample sizes for each wave are N T 1 = 5,886, N T 2 = 1,700 and N T 3 = 881, 434 participants provided valid responses at all the three waves. Consent form was electronic. Dataset and codebook can be found here: https://osf.io/v56du/ . The sample is mainly composed of women (63.8%, at Time 1). Participants' mean age at Time 1 was 23.37 years (SD = 5.39). The survey was in Italian and included multiple-item measures of career calling, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, social support, engaged learning, clarity of professional identity, and quality of mentorship. Socio-demographic information and academic performance indicators are provided. The dataset is necessary to reproduce previously published results (Vianello et al., 2018) and can be useful to 1) investigate cross-cultural differences between college students from Italy and other countries; 2) investigate person-level variability in predictors and consequences of change in the variables collected over time; 3) develop and/or validate new statistical models for longitudinal data; and 4) develop and/or test original theoretical hypotheses.
