A Multi-Method Approach to Studying the Relationship between Character Strengths and Vocational Interests in Adolescents
Proyer, Rene T.; Sidler, Nicole; Weber, Marco; Ruch, Willibald
International Journal for Educational and Vocational Guidance, v12 n2 p141-157 Jul 2012
The relationship between character strengths and vocational interests was tested. In an online study, 197 thirteen to eighteen year-olds completed a questionnaire measuring character strengths and a multi-method measure for interests (questionnaire, nonverbal test, and objective personality tests). The main findings were that intellectual strengths yielded primarily relations with investigative and artistic interests. Social interests demonstrated relations with strengths of transcendence and other-directed strengths and enterprising interests with leadership strengths. The implications of the findings for practice are highlighted.
