|
The validity of some theoretically-derived vocational |
|
diagnostic signs was examined to learn if a person's self- |
|
knowledge, occupational knowledge, and decision-making |
|
ability were predictable. Diverse samples of high school |
|
juniors (N = 1005), college juniors (N = 692), and |
|
employed adults (N = 140) were administered the Self- |
|
Directed Search (the source of the diagnostic signs) and |
|
the criteria for validating the signs (The Career |
|
Maturity Inventory, a decision-making task, questionnaire |
|
items about vocational choice, scales measuring identity, |
|
anomy, originality, and interpersonal competency). The |
|
signs for good decision-making ability (consistency and |
|
differentiation of the SDS profiles) predicted scores on |
|
the decision-making task more efficiently than any non- |
|
SDS variables. In contrast, the signs concerned with self |
|
and occupational knowledge had no convergent or |
|
discriminant validity. The results for the decision- |
|
making signs, however, imply some immediate practical |
|
applications and some potentially valuable theoretical |
|
investigations. (Data tables and a 21-item bibliography |
|
are included in the report.) (Author/AG) |
