  1. Instrumental Behaviors Following Test Administration and Interpretation: Exploration Validity of the Strong Interest Inventory Presented by: Ana Arias Alheli Miranda Julia Baird Lily Soltero

  2. Previous research

  3. Purpose

  4. Participants • Introductory Psychology students which were awarded extra credit points • Initially, there were 157 students (women= 94, men= 63) • One year later when the participants were contacted to follow-up there were 94 students (women= 53, men= 41)

  5. Participants cont’d • To determine if the students who were contacted were similar to those who could not be contacted, the demographic characteristics were compared. • Findings: class distribution and GPA very similar • In response to “the importance of having a definite career plan at this time”- both groups responded that it was somewhat or very important ( 68.5% follow-up participants and 64.1% for non-participants )

  6. SII Experimental Group 45.7% finding interesting careers 26.2% financial considerations 18.2% self discovery Contrast Group 42.2% finding interesting careers 19.7% financial considerations 25.2% self discovery *no statistical differences Final Experimental and Contrast Samples

  7. Phase 1, SII was administered and 2 weeks later interpreted Phase 2, one year later participants were surveyed by telephone to collect criterion data Data Collection

  8. Self-Reported Career Exploration Behaviors • 14 yes-no items were constructed concerning academic and non-academic career exploration behaviors • 7 items concerning campus career exploration services (use of the Career Development Center) • 7 items concerning career exploration that may occur on or of campus (informal conversation with friends about careers)

  9. Five Factors Measured • Discussion/ Reading • Experiential Information Seeking • Career Counselling • Vocational Testing • Individual Information Seeking

  10. Results • Experimental group engaged in more instrumental information seeking behaviors • Students pattern of activities suggest that the Strong Interest Inventory had an impact on career exploration behaviors

  11. Critical Review Points of Interest • SII group followed up after one year • No gender differences in exploratory validity • Differences between SII experimental group and control group in career exploration preferences • A yes/no response technique was used in participating in instrumental behaviors

  12. Critical Review cont’d Areas of Disagreement • Oliver and Spokane (1983) argue that classroom group intervention seem to be more beneficial than individual strategies • Author focuses on SII and tests leading students to seek further career exploration/ should focus more on results of tests
