From hexagon to a globe: The spherical model of interests and competence beliefs by Terence Tracey

The paper presents the Spherical Model of Interests and Competence Beliefs proposed by T. Tracey (Tracey, 1997, 2002, 2010; Tracey, Rounds, 1996a, 1996b). This concept integrates Holland’s RIASEC theory (1985, 1997) and the People/Things, Data/Ideas dimensions of human activity according to Prediger (1982), supplementing them with prestige, which is an indicator of professional interests and choices. The resulting three-dimensional model allows for a more complete and detailed analysis of professional interests. It includes 8 areas of basic interest and 10 types of specific interests, depending on the preferred level of prestige. The text also describes three instruments to assess professional interests, based on the discussed concept.

The People

Language plays a pivotal role in constructing identity and ideology. It shapes the people’s ideas and beliefs about specific perspectives. This research is mainly concerned with constructed ideologies through discourse. The present study is based on the book “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House” written by Michael Wolff. The approach for present research is qualitative in nature and for analysis; different extracts are taken from the book. It adopts Fairclough’s (1992) three-dimensional model for analysis which includes textual, discursive practice and social practice analyses. The study reveals that a constructed ideology of Trump is portrayed in this book, in which, he is presented as ineligible and unfit person for the post of president of United States. Thus, in conclusion, the value of discourse in conveying the specific ideology cannot be underestimated.
