Compromise in Career Decision Making: A Test of Gottfredson's Theory.
Blanchard, Christy A.; Lichtenberg, James W.
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v62 n2 p250-71 Apr 2003
A computerized occupational sorting task was completed by 119 subjects, partially supporting the Theory of Compromise and Circumscription. Those with low degree of career compromise ranked interests before prestige, then sex-type. In moderate and high compromise conditions, there were no significant differences between prestige and sex-type although both were ranked higher than interests. (Contains 16 references.) (SK)
