“…Indeed, several previous findings concerning Holland's RIASEC model seemed to indicate that its hexagonal structure varies across cultures, suggesting that the structure underlying vocational interest might be culture-specific (e.g., du Toit & de Bruin, 2000;Farth, Leong & Law, 1998;. Interestingly, the structure underlying the PGI has replicated well in some Asian countries (e.g., Long et al, 2005;Zhang, Kube, Wang, & Tracey, 2013), as it did in our two countries, which are economically and culturally very different.…”

“…The eight-type model from the Personal Globe Inventory also includes the 'Nature/Outdoors' basic type (Y. Zhang et al, 2013). The presence of this dimension may be a result of the demand for environmental protection.…”

“…Tang (2001) examined the structures of 25 basic interest scales in the Strong Interest Inventory using Chinese samples, but did not completely duplicate the RIASEC themes, with a merger of basic interest scales between Social and Artistic, and a missing Conventional type. On the other hand, the application of the Personal Globe Inventory, one instrument incorporating both a six-RIASEC-type model and an eight-extendedtype model in China showed comparable fit between six-RIASEC types and eight types (Long, Adams, & Tracey, 2005;Y. Zhang et al, 2013).…”

Holland's RIASEC vocational interest typology may not be fully applicable to Chinese populations, and adapting models from Western cultures directly may fail to address important constructs specifically tied to the Chinese cultural background. This study made an exploration into Chinese college students’ vocational interests and built a new self-report vocational interests scale based on Chinese university student samples. In study 1, researchers constructed a self-report vocational interests inventory developed from an item pool based on open-ended questionnaires and previous scales. Nine dimensions were identified through exploratory factor analysis: Artistic, Biotic, Conventional, Expressive, Investigative, Operational, Social, Enterprising, and Adventurous. In study 2, confirmatory factor analysis was employed to test its construct validity, and the indexes indicated good fit. Empirical evidence proved adequate homogeneity reliability and test–retest reliability, as well as sufficient concurrent validity with the Self-Directed Search. Thus, evidence lent support for the psychometrical properties of this scale. This exploratory research may expand our view of cross-cultural, vocational interest theories.

“…In Study 1, we recruited a large sample of college students in the United States and used a RIASEC-based general interest measure (i.e., GOTs of the SII; Donnay et al, 2005; Harmon et al, 1994) and a basic interest measure (i.e., BIMs; Liao et al, 2008) to generate congruence indices. In Study 2, we recruited a sample of college students in Hong Kong and used another RIASEC-based general interest measure (i.e., Chinese version of Personal Globe Inventory—Short [PGI-SC]; Zhang, Kube, Wang, & Tracey, 2013) and a basic interest measure (i.e., Hong Kong version of basic interest markers, BIMs-HK; Davey, Bai, & Liao, 2016). As prior evidence indicates a superior validity of basic interests in predicting career-related outcomes, we hypothesized that the relations between interest congruence and satisfaction using basic interest measures would be significant and stronger than the relations using general interest measures.…”

“…The PGI-SC (Zhang et al, 2013) was translated and revised from the PGI-S (Tracey, 2010), an abbreviated version of the PGI (Tracey, 2002). The PGI-SC has been validated in China as an alternative measure to the full version of the PGI (Zhang et al, 2013). The PGI-SC consists of 10 scales (4 items for each scale), including eight interest scales and two prestige scales.…”

The Relation Between Interest Congruence and College Major Satisfaction: Evidence From the Basic Interest Measures

The relation between the degree of interest congruence (i.e., person–environment fit in interest domain) and career satisfaction has been inconsistent and generally low across studies. Interest congruence is typically measured at the broadband general interest level, bound within Holland’s Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional (RIASEC) framework, and largely based on the match of the high-point interest codes between persons and environments. Using two cross-cultural college samples, we reexamined the congruence–satisfaction relation with a refined congruence index by using narrowband basic interest measures and considering the entire basic interest profiles. As a comparison, we used three additional congruence indices based on the entire general interest RIASEC profiles or the high-point RIASEC codes. Findings showed stronger congruence–satisfaction relations when the basic interest measure and/or complete interest profiles were used to generate interest congruence indices. Implications for research and career practice are discussed.
