Vocational interest inventories are widely used by career counselors to help individuals to make career choices. The most common approach to assess vocational interests is based on verbal or textual stimuli. However, some of them are based on pictorials to overcome reading limits and provide additional information about the working environment and the activities related to a particular job. This article aims to present two studies on the development and first validation of the Multilingual Iconographic Professional Interest Inventory (MIPII) on two samples, one composed of 792 high-school students, and one composed of 366 middle school students. The inventory aimed to assesses the vocational interests of people over 19 areas by illustrations representing 95 jobs, five for each one, combined with their title in six different languages (Arabic, German, English, Spanish, French and Italian in this order). Both illustrations and titles are provided separately in the male and female version on the same page.

Internal Locus Of Control

The purpose of this study was to examine relationships among scores on vocational interests, self-esteem, and locus of control for high school students. Grade and sex differences were also examined. 1364 high school students ranging in age from 14 to 19 years of age were administered the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory, Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale for Children, and the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory. High school students with higher scores on self-esteem and showing an orientation toward internal locus of control expressed more interests in a variety of vocational themes than adolescents with lower scores on self-esteem and scores for external locus of control. Sex and grade differences in vocational interests of adolescents were also noted. The findings were discussed in light of theoretical and practical considerations.

Median Correlation

This study examined whether high school students were better able to assess their scores on an interest inventory when the self-ratings were either matched or unmatched with the interest categories in an interest inventory. Students (N = 329) completed the Career Interest Test and a survey containing the same seven interest dimensions (Outdoor, Practical, Scientific, Creative, Business, Office, and People Contact). At the same time they completed four ratings of interests in the Data, Ideas, People, and Things work-task dimensions. Findings indicated higher convergent validities for matching self-ratings. The median correlation for matching categories was .52 and for unmatched categories was .21. Results supported the validity of self-ratings and the use of matched categories for the assessment of interests.

INTRODUCTION:Katmon Fruit (Dillenia Philippinensis) is a fruit tree commonly use in the rural area in the Philippines. Katmon is eaten as fruit but is not very popular because of the unacceptable taste that resembles a green sour apple. The purpose of this study is to develop an instant sinigang powder as a base ingredients of sinigang and using the natural sour taste for sinigang dish.   METHOD:This study use katmon fruit, shiitake mushroom, garlic, iodized salt, and sugar to develop an instant sinigang mix powder. It were dehydrated using the Multi-Commodity Heat Pump Dryer for 13 hours. These were powdered using a grinder mixed with iodized salt and sugar. The nutrient content was computed using iFNRI online software. Thirty participants comprising: 10 faculty, 10 dormitory students,10 senior high school students did the taste test.   RESULTS:The results revealed that the product was liked very much in terms of color, texture, taste, aroma, and appearance. The instant sinigang powder is stored in a polyethylene metalized zip lock packaging 8.5 x 14cm. The cost per serving is PhP 37.5 .It is cheaper and has more nutritional value compared to other products.   DISCUSSION AND RECOMENDATION: The study recommend for more enhancement in terms of flavour of instant sinigang powder from katmon additional ingredient from natural sources to have more tasty and more nutritional content. This study also can help future researchers to have additional information about the katmon fruit.

Educational needs assessment project in Wyoming is designed to assess discrepancies between the mathematical skills that Wyoming teachers believe graduating high school students should possess and the skills that such students can actually demonstrate. Fifty-six competencies were translated into test items that were administered to 869 of the state's approximately 6000 seniors. The students' performance on each item was compared with the expectations of the teacher committee, with a discrepancy of ten percentage points being considered “educationally significant.” For additional information contact Gayle Lain, Coordinator of Innovative Program Development, Wyoming State Department of Education, Hathaway Building, Cheyenne, WY 82002.

Significant Relationships

Relationships between Academic Comfort and General Occupational Themes of the 1985 Strong Campbell Interest Inventory were investigated for 1364 high school adolescents. Significant relationships between Academic Comfort and grade, sex, socioeconomic status, and career motivation were found. Academic Comfort scores of adolescents increased with higher grades and girls had higher Academic Comfort scores than the boys at ail grades. The results support Holland's theory of career development during the high school years in that certain career interests during this period of development are related to Academic Comfort.

Confirmatory Factor

In this study we present the results of the adaptation of the Adolescent Self-Regulatory Inventory (ASRI) to Portugal. The measure was used with two samples of high school students to which ASRI was administered with Self-Regulation Scale as control measure. In the first study the measures were administered to 823 adolescents and the construct validity analysis was assessed with exploratory factor analysis. The results allow us to find an adequate structure with proper psychometric properties, in their construct and content validity, and reliability. A second study involved 435 adolescents, being tested three models using confirmatory factor analyses. The final version of the ASRI-2 presents an acceptable fit of the data in construct and concurrent validity, given its moderate or high correlation with academic success and substance use. The implications of this new approach to the self-regulation study are discussed and directions to further studies are suggested.

The research study deals with Dark Triad traits (Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy) in the context of the vocational interests in high school students. We assumed that students tending towards the helping professions might score differently in Dark Triad traits compared to students oriented towards professions such as manufacturing, business, or law (Jonason et al., 2014; Kowalski et al., 2017). The main goal of the study was to examine the differences in Dark Triad traits with respect to students´ professional intentions. The research was conducted on a sample of 181 students of grammar schools and secondary vocational schools in Slovakia (Mage = 18.3 years; SD = .77); 57% were boys, 43% were girls. The Slovak version of the Short Dark Triad (Čopková & Šafár, 2020; Jones & Paulhus, 2014) and the Questionnaire of Professional Intentions (Džuka, 2006) were used. Testing the significance of differences between students with different professional intentions pointed to significant differences in subclinical psychopathy. Significantly higher psychopathy was shown by students oriented to the sphere of production compared to students oriented to art, science and education. Also in psychopathy, students oriented towards the sphere of business scored higher than students oriented towards the sphere of art and education. Testing of within-subject variability showed Machiavellianism as the most significant feature of the Dark Triad in all professional spheres.

Aggression Questionnaire

Summary Multisample confirmatory factor analyses were carried out in samples of Italian university and high school students in order to assess the replicability of the factor structure in the Italian version of the Aggression Questionnaire by Buss and Perry. Item-level multiple-group component analysis confirmed Buss and Perry's 4-factor structure of the Aggression Questionnaire items in both samples. The results of multisample maximum likelihood confirmatory factor analysis of scale scores supported the hypothesis of single aggression latent dimension underlying the four Aggression Questionnaire scales, the structure of which was invariant across the two samples.
