Matthews, Dorothy F.; Walsh, W. Bruce

Journal of Vocational Behavior, 12, 3, 371-8, June 78

This study, using the Vocational Preference Inventory (VPI) and the Self-Directed Search (SDS), explored concurrent validity of Holland's theory for employed non-college-degreed women (N=114). Results revealed three scales of the VPI and five scales of the SDS successfully differentiated occupational groups consistent with Holland's theoretical notions. (Author)
