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 the custom of treating all undifferentiated subjects as if they were equal, by dividing subjects into High-Score Undifferentiated (HSU) and Low-Score Undifferentiated (LSU) groups. Results suggest that accounting for score elevation does reveal differences between HSU and LSU subjects and that future studies should not treat…

Examined relationship between Academic Comfort (AC) scale and other Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory scales. Findings from 223 university students revealed significant positive relationship between AC and all parts (like) and negative relationship between AC and all parts (dislike), suggesting that career clients who are comfortable in academic…

Examined the relationships of Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory Scales for occupational choice, academic comfort, introversion-extroversion, and response style in a population of university students (N=2,113) who sought vocational counseling. Results showed that the scales were more interrelated than expected, and suggested that a smaller range…

Suggests that when a students' response style is greatly skewed, the occupational scales reflect the pattern of the test construction. Correlating that pattern with students' actual profiles showed the common variance may average 35 percent when a predominance of one response reaches 60 percent. (JAC)

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…

Estimated the relatedness of category placements of the Occupational Scales of the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory for 87 college women. Results showed the Campbell and Hansen placements of 44 Occupational Scales were classified as related; 19 were discrepant by one criteria and 12 were discripant by both study criteria. (JAC)

Examined differences in Holland codes when different criteria are used to compute the typology, using a sample of 2,133 college students. Results showed no difference between original and transformed scores for males, but the use of transformed scores resulted in fewer females with high consistency. (JAC)

The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE) and the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory (SCII) were administered to undergraduates. Only low to moderate linear correlations were found between the RSE and the SCII administrative index, Part VII (Your Characteristics). Counselors are cautioned against overinterpreting the index until further substantial…

Examined relationship between Holland's personality types as measured by the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory and Jung's personality types as measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. College students' (N=394) responses to the two instruments revealed significant associations between certain types based on interests and preferences.…

Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory answer sheets for 300 male university freshmen were scored via both the 1981 and 1985 scoring systems. Communalities of the profiles generated by the two scoring systems indicated considerable profile variance. Counselors should thoroughly understand changes made in the new instrument. (Author/NB)

Evaluated Holland's theory of vocational choice using data from clients (college students seeking career counseling) who took the Strong Campbell Interest Inventory. Findings suggested clients are less consistent and less differentiated than nonclient controls but can be expected to have General Occupational Theme (SCII) scores similar to…

Discriminant analysis showed that 97 accounting and hospitality management majors could be identified by their Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory scores. Academic Comfort scores found accounting students more comfortable in the academic environment. Accounting students preferred more introverted activities. (JOW)

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)

This study evaluates the relationship of the Career Occupational Preference System, Interest Inventory, Form P (COPS-P) and the Theme and Basic Interest scales of the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory (SCII) to provide construct validity data. Computed scale correlations for a college student sample (n=122) support the theoretical constructs…
