Tóm tắt

The Academic Comfort (AC) Scale of the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory (SCII) underwent its second name change within 16 years on the latest revision of the SCII (D. P. Campbell & J. C. Hansen, 1981, Manual for the SVIB-SCII (3rd ed.), Palo Alto, CA: Stanford Univ. Press). The purposes of this study were (a) to further define the construct of "academic comfort" by investigating criteria associated with the scale throughout its development and (b) to investigate Academic Comfort as a moderator variable of predictive validity of the SCII. Data were obtained from two sources: the occupational criterion samples from the 1981 revision of the SCII, and a 3 1 2-year longitudinal study of liberal arts students. Results indicated that the AC scale is moderately correlated with grade point average and strongly related to attained educational level; that AC scores are positively related to educational goals and graduate school plans; and that the SCII is substantially more predictive of college majors for those students with high AC scores than it is for those students with low AC scores. © 1985.
