Compared validities for females and males on the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory (SCII). Subjects took the SCII and a satisfaction measure three and one-half years after initial testing. Excellent predictive validity was evidenced for 42.5% of females and 59.3% of males. Concurrent validities were 58.0% and 64.0%. (Author/BEF)

Examined the relationship between the Sensation Seeking Scale (SSS) and scores on the Adventure scale of the Strong Interest Inventory (SII) among female college students (n=55). Women scoring high on the SSS scales also scored high on the Adventure scale, thereby supporting the construct validity of the SII Adventure scale. (RJM)

Investigated the feasibility of transferring the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory (SCII) into another culture. Examined engineering and law as occupations among students from the United States and Mexico. Used a validated Spanish translation of the inventory. Cross cultural predictive validity was very similar for all student groups. (Author/KS)

Assessed the construct validity of the Strong Interest Inventory (SVIB-SCII) Adventure Scale for women college students (N=136). Found significant correlations with Jackson Personality Research Form scales that measure willingness to take physical and social risks and an independence-dependence dimension. (Author)

Examined expressed-inventoried interest agreement for each type of Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory scale in a sample of female college students. Three levels of agreement were established: low, statistical, and high. Findings revealed statistical and high levels of agreement across occupations, in addition to differences in agreement level…

Examined the equivalence of two versions of the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory (SCII) using four combinations of paper-and-pencil and computer administrations with college student subjects (N=75). Found slightly better test-retest reliability for the computer-based SCII. (Author/ABL)

College students took the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory (SCII) during freshman orientation. Follow-up data were obtained in their senior year. Comparisons between congruent and incongruent students suggested that congruent students were more satisfied and differentiated than incongruent students, and they perceived themselves to be more…

Confirmed the validity of the Strong Campbell Interest Inventory (SCII) in predicting majors of college students (N=615). A second study determined the differential effect of stable and unstable interests using the same sample and found most students have very stable interests. The SCII is more predictive for satisfied students. (Author/JAC)

Concurrent validity of the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory (SCII) and predictive validity of the Strong Vocational Interest Blank (SVIB) were studied in an 18-year follow-up of a university counseling center group of male college graduate subjects. The SCII had concurrent validity greater than the SVIB. (Author)

The convergent and divergent construct validity of the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory and the Vocational Interest Inventory was examined separately in samples of male and female college counselees. The validity of the SCII General Themes was strongly supported while minor weaknesses in certain Basic Interest and Occupational scales were…

Examined the equivalency of the Spanish translation of the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory to the English version. The results indicated that the translated version was comparable to the English version and that the two forms elicited similar interests. (JAC)

Assessed criterion validity of the Strong Vocational Interest Blank - Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory for a heterogeneous sample of American Indian college students (N=49). For the analysis of the concurrent validity between major and Occupational Scale score, the excellent and moderate concurrent hit rate for women in the direct relationship…

Intercorrelations among the 1985 occupational scales of the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory (SCII) for 1985 for each of the six Holland groups are presented. These intercorrelations are based on large recent samples of entering college students. A second objective was to determine the extent to which the 1985 occupational scales are correctly…

The Academic Orientation (AOR) scale of the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory was evaluated regarding its usefulness in predicting academic achievement in college. Also, the AOR scores of 148 low, average, and high functioning college students were compared. Correlational analyses indicated that the AOR is quite inadequate for predicting either…

Examined the Academic Comfort (AC) Scale of the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory and its relationship to academic level, performance, and aspirations. Results from occupational criteria samples and a student survey indicated the AC scale is moderately correlated with grade point average and strongly related to attained educational level. (BH)
