Convergent and Discriminant Validity of Five Interest Inventories.
Savickas, Mark L.; Taber, Brian J.; Spokane, Arnold R.
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v61 n1 p139-84 Aug 2002
Empirical relations of scores for similar and same-named scales on five interest inventories were examined. Analysis of multitrait/multimethod matrices found modest correlations and convergent and discriminant validity. Homogenous scales correlated higher than heterogenous scales. Results support the assertion that inventories are only partial indicators of interests. (Contains 51 references.) (SK)
