Prediction, Stability, and Social Change: Their Implications for Women's Career Development.

Diamond, Esther E.

New Directions for Education, Work and Careers, (No. 8, Enhancing Women's Career Development) p43-53 1979

Prediction and stability in psychological measurement are not always compatible with social change, especially with reference to the career development of women. Placing major emphasis on these measurement characteristics may have the effect of perpetuating the status quo. New measurement models and new ways to use existing measures are needed. (Author/MLW)
