Investigation of the Structure of Vocational Interests of Chinese College Students

Mei Tang

University of Cincinnati

The study investigates 166 Chinese college students' occupational interests using the Strong Interest Inventory 1994 version in Chinese to accomplish two research goals: (a) to provide additional validity data for the Chinese version of the Strong Interest Inventory and (b) to examine the structure of vocational interests of Chinese college students and to determine whether Holland theory describes the structure of interests of Chinese students. The findings were that both female and male Chinese students have similar but not identical order of RIASEC. The factor analysis found the Basic Interest Scales did not resemble exactly the original classification.

Key Words: Interest structure • cross-cultural validity • Chinese students • RIASEC • Strong Interest Inventory (SII) • Multidimensional scaling factor analysis (MDS)
