“…Although Swanson (1999) some time ago called for an increased attention to individual factors that might be responsible for interest change and stability, almost no research is available on this question beyond differences in gender or age. One of the few exceptions is Schomburg and Tokar (2003), who investigated the influence of private self-conscientiousness on the 12-week interest stability among a group of U.S. undergraduates. The results implied that private self-conscientiousness moderated the stability of enterprising interests; but not the other interest types or interest profile stability.…”

The study investigated the predictive utility of interest profile differentiation, coherence, elevation, congruence, and vocational identity commitment and career maturity (career planning and exploration) on the 10-month interest stability of 292 Swiss eighth-grade students: profile, rank, and level stabilities were assessed. Controlling for socio-demographic and vocational interest type variables, measures of differentiated and coherent vocational interests were significant predictors of profile stability. Interest elevation predicted more rank and level stability. The career development variables explained only a non-significant additional amount of variance in the different stability measures.Résumé. Prédicteurs individuels de l' Adolescents' Vocational Interest Stabilities. L'étude a investigué, chez 292 élèves suisses du huitième degré, l'utilité prédictive du profil d'intérêts en termes de différenciation, de cohérence, d'intensité, de congruence, ainsi que d'engagement sur le plan de l'identité de professionnelle et de la maturité de carrière (planification et exploration du parcours professionnel) par rapport à la stabilité des intérêts à 10 mois: on a évalué la stabilité du profil, du rang et du niveau. Les variables de type sociodémographique et relatives aux intérêts professionnels étant contrôlées, les mesures des intérêts vocationnels différenciés et cohérents se révèlent être des prédicteurs significatifs de la stabilité du profil. Le degré d'intérêt prédit davantage la stabilité du rang et du niveau. Les variables de développement du parcours professionnel expliquent seulement une quantité additionnelle non significative de variance dans les différentes mesures de stabilité.Zusammenfassung. Individuelle Indikatoren fü r die Vorhersage der Stabilität von Berufsinteressen bei Jugendlichen. Diese Studie untersuchte die Vorhersage-A. Hirschi (Genauigkeiten in Bezug auf eine 10-Monats-Stabilität der Berufsinteressen für die Indikatoren Diffenziertheit des Interessensprofils, Kohärenz, Ausprägungsintensität, Kongruenz für die berufliche Zielorientiertheit und die Berufswahlreife (Laufbahnplanung und -erkundung) bei 292 Schweizer Schülern der 8.Klasse. Unter Berücksichtigung von sozio-demografischen Variablen und von Berufsinteressenstypen erwiesen sich die Differenziertheit und die Kohärenz der Interessensprofile als signifikante Indikatoren für deren Stabilität im Zeitverlauf. Die Variablen der Berufswahlvorbereitung erklärten dabei lediglich einen nichtsignifikanten zusätzlichen Varianzbereich der verschiedenen Stabilitätsindikatoren.Resumen.

Career Decision Making, Stability, and Actualization of Career Intentions

Career counselors are often concerned with stability and likelihood of implementation of clients' career intentions. It is often assumed that the status in career decision making (CDM) is one likely indicator; yet, empirical support for this assumption is sparse. The present study focused on entrepreneurial career intentions (EI) and showed that German university students (N ¼ 1,221), with high EI can be found in very different empirically derived CDM statuses that range from preconcern to mature decidedness. Longitudinal analyses (n ¼ 561) showed that career choice foreclosure (high decidedness/low exploration) related to more EI stability and that mature decidedness (high decidedness/high exploration) amplified effects of EI on opportunity identification, a form of EI actualization. The results imply that CDM statuses are useful to estimate stability and actualization of career intentions.
