Predictive Validity Criteria for Career Development Measures

Mark L. Savickas

Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine

Which criteria should be used in predictive validity studies of career development measures? An answer to this question emerged from reviewing 15 predictive validity studies, revisiting the purpose for which career development measures were devised, and acknowledging the preeminence of validity for use. The most important criterion for predictive validity studies of career development measures is subsequent coping responses, especially in the short term. The coping responses selected as criteria should be operationally defined by indices of (a) the realism, independence, and purpose of vocational behavior and (b) movement toward suitable career choices and viable occupational plans.
