Popis: | The prediction of actual occupation from expressed vocational choice when enhanced by measures of career development is described. Subjects were those junior class members of a national study of student career development who were working more than half time 3 years later ( N = 1994). Choices and occupations were both categorized into Holland-type job clusters, and selected scales from the Assessment of Career Development (ACD) were used. Weighted hit rates and coefficient kappa were computed. The criterion was occupation held 2 years after high school. The ACD scales taken separately and in combination did not contribute to the predictive accuracy of vocational choice. High-scoring students on the ACD were not better predictors of their future occupations than were low-scoring students. |
