“…No 19FII ¢eld had a meaningful correlation with the Control factor. However, previous studies have suggested a link between Conscientiousness (or Control) and the Conventional interest type (Blake & Sackett, 1999;Hogan & Blake, 1999). The lack of a similar ¢nding in the present study suggests that the 19FII possibly does not provide adequate measurement of Holland's Conventional type.…”

“…Recently, several studies have investigated the overlap between vocational interests and personality traits (Blake & Sackett, 1999;Carless, 1999;De Fruyt & Mervielde, 1997;Gottfredson, Jones & Holland, 1993;Hogan & Blake, 1999;Katz, Joyner & Seaman,1999;Tokar & Swanson,1995).The results of these studies reveal a consistent but relatively weak pattern of relationships between interests and personality traits. Most of the recent studies made use of Holland's (1997) hexagonal model of vocational interest types and the ¢ve-factor model of personality traits (Wiggins & Trapnell, 1997).…”

“…The ¢ve-factor model of personality traits proposes ¢ve broad and fundamental personality traits: (a) Extroversion, (b) Neuroticism, (c) Agreeableness, (d) Conscientiousness and (e) Openness to Experience (see Digman, 1990;John, 1990;and Wiggins & Trapnell, 1997 for full discussions of these factors). The results of studies investigating the correspondence between Holland's interest types and the ¢ve-factor model generally show the following: Extroversion is related to Enterprising and Social interests, Openness to Experience is related to Investigative and Artistic interests, and Conscientiousness is related to Conventional interests (Blake & Sackett, 1999;de Fruyt & Mervielde, 1997;Gottfredson et al, 1993;Hogan & Blake, 1999;Holland, 1999;Tokar & Swanson, 1995).…”

This study examined the relationship between vocational interests and basic personality traits. The interest ¢elds of the 19-Field-Interest Inventory were related to the second order factors of the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire by means of a factor extension analysis. The results showed that extroverts tend to be interested in ¢elds related to social contact and the in£uencing of other people. Emotionally sensitive individuals tend to be interested in the arts and languages. Independent individuals tend to be interested in creative thinking. The implications of the ¢ndings for career counselling are discussed. OPSOMMINGHierdie studie het ondersoek ingestel na die verband tussen beroepsbelangstellings en basiese persoonlikheidstrekke. Die 19 belangstellingsvelde van die 19-Veld-belangstellingsvraelys is aan die hand van 'n faktorverlengingsontleding met die tweede orde faktore van die 16 -Persoonlikheidsfaktorvraelys in verband gebring. Die resultate dui daarop dat ekstroverte geneig is om in velde wat sosiale kontak en die be|« nvloeding van mense behels, belang te stel. Emosioneel sensitiewe individue is geneig om in kunssinnge en taal verwante velde belang te stel. Onafhanklike individue is geneig om in kreatiewe denke belang te stel. Die implikasies van die resultate vir loopbaanvoorligting word bespreek.

Becoming and Being an Opera Singer: Health, Personality, and Skills

The present thesis explores factors and processes associated with the artistic profession and development of opera singers. The profession of opera singers has a long story deriving its origin in early 1600s in Italy. What is performed on opera stages today is written in the musical scores in the 18 th and 19th century. The question arises how the modern opera singers live, learn and excel in their contemporary pursuit in order to meet the high demands on performance. The initial study identified health issues related to the professional activity of opera singers. Qualitative and quantitative measurements indicated that psychological problems were associated with a distinct worry for possible negative evaluation from significant others and a fear of vocal indisposition. A range of healthpromoting activities was demonstrated aiming at preventing the occurrence of somatic problems that could cause vocal indisposition. Psychosocial problems concerned difficulties to maintain a family life and relations due to irregular working hours. In Study II, the psychological and physiological effects of singing lessons were investigated with respect to amateur and professional levels of singing experiences. Amateur singers experienced more well-being measured by self-reports of emotional states and by lower levels of stress hormones than professionals. In Study III, narrative accounts were collected to identify factors and processes in the artistic development during higher opera education. A descriptive model was created that embraced the development of various skills such as singing technique, means of expressiveness and interpersonal skills. Outcome variables from the education were artistic autonomy, artistic competence and change in self-concept. In Study IV, personality characteristics were assessed among elite students in opera and business education representing an artistic versus a traditional educational streaming. Female opera students, female business and male business students shared the personality characteristic of extraversion indicating a disposition towards sensation seeking. Male opera singers exhibited a profile of elevated levels of emotionality. In general, the findings across the studies demonstrate that the individual development of operatic artistry is a complex process where health-related issues, personality characteristics, skills acquisition and sociocultural values are critical constituents. A major result was the marked focus on the instrument per se, the voice. Vocal functioning in singing was described as a means of enabling operatic singing, a mode for artistic expression and indicator of health.

“…Although Holland's theory states that individuals' job interests are shaped by their personalities, construct validity studies consistently indicate that there is small to moderate correlations between personality and RIASEC vocational interests, [9]. Tracey and Rounds, [25] found no support to suggest RIASEC dimensions as indicative of personality types.…”

Abstract. Holland's RIASEC types are being frequently utilized in commercial vocational profiling tools for various human resources purposes. On the other hand, the length of the RIASEC scale and the copyright restrictions put by the publishers, are important barriers to application. In the present study, a RIASEC scale consisting of 41 items and adapted to Turkish language and culture, was developed. Each RIASEC type was represented with 6 or 7 items. Responses were obtained from a sample of 364 business professionals. Survey results indicated a good reliability for the scale, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.889. However, reliability analysis pointed out to the need for revision of certain scale items when each RIASEC facet was separately analysed. Then, feedback regarding scale composition, wording and structure were gathered from 20 PhD students. Lastly, feedback of 7 HR professionals were sought, regarding scale items' expression and application of the scale in regular HR processes of companies. Results from face and content validity have been that for some items of the scale, more descriptive and specific expressions in Turkish are required. Moreover, some of the items would need to be reallocated to another facet where they would be more relevant. In line with findings from face and content validity, construct validity through confirmatory factor analysis also indicated that the short version of RIASEC must be revised substantially in order to become a valid tool for vocational profiling in Turkish context.
