“…Indeed, a number of additional applications are evident in the literature, including the areas of occupational reinforcers (Rounds, Shubsachs, Dawis, & Lofquist, 1978), perceptions of vocational counseling roles (Brook, 1979), potential work mobility (Aranya, Jacobson, 81 Shye, 1976), design of work environments (Kenny & Canter, 1981), job analysis and classification (Brown, 1967;Sackett, Cornelius & Carron, 1981;Smith & Siegel, 1967), and career preferences (Soutar & Clarke, 1983). The diversity of these applications bodes well for the future of multidimensional scaling in vocational psychology research.…”

Memorial institute This review summarizes and evaluates the use of multidimensional scaling in vocational psychology. Multidimensional scaling applications are found in two primary areas: vocational interests and occupational perceptions. These areas correspond to the two major uses of multidimensional scaling: configural verification and dimensional identification. Two issues—the 1 The specific studies reviewed herein were assembled by identifying a number of major outlets for vocational research and applications of MDS. These sources included, but were not limited to, the

“…Some scholars and practitioners have utilized this technique to examine judgments pertaining to the similarity between job units in order to gain insight into fundamental dimensions on which job incumbents and experts based their judgments. For example, Brown (1967) asked job incumbents to rate (on a seven-point scale) the similarity of 18 behavioral statements describing interpersonal relation tasks for the position of management analysts. A multidimensional scaling technique was employed to explore the underlying dimensions.…”

As the Thai people have been more aware of the importance of volunteering, the structure of volunteer activities in the country's hospitals has become more complicated. As a result, medical personnel and volunteer organizations have faced challenges in connecting people with the activities most relevant to concerns and needs. In order to assist the host parties as well as individual volunteers, a system that can match the personal characteristics of volunteers to the demands of the activities needs to be developed. As a starting point, multidimensional scaling was used in this study to reveal a working structure for volunteer activities by exploring major dimensions underlying the similarity and dissimilarity between these activities. Twenty-three volunteer activities proposed by a panel of experts and stakeholders were subject to an ordinal (non-metric) multidimensional scaling. All but one volunteer activity can be grouped along three dimensions: hospital-related, lecturing versus group leading, and empathic communication. These three dimensions can serve as a blueprint for identifying personal characteristics that may be essential to each activity and for designing a system for volunteer recruitment and placement.

“…The multidimensional method of successive intervals appeared to be appropriate for this purpose. Discussion of multidimensional scaling procedures, such as those used in the present research, has been presented by Torgerson (1958) and Brown (1967) and will not be repeated here.…”
