An Examination of the Relation between Vocational Identity, Consistency, and Differentiation.

Leung, S. Alvin; And Others

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v40 n1 p95-107 Feb 1992

A total of 211 male and 353 female gifted high school juniors completed the Vocational Identity Scale of Holland et al.'s My Vocational Situation (MVS) and the Self-Directed Search. Results suggested that vocational identity was not related to consistency or differentiation, either because the MVS may be inaccurate or the gifted population may be at a unique developmental stage.
