✦ Synopsis

This study investigated the validity of J. L. Holland's (1997) theory of vocational personalities and work environments. The sample consisted of 241 randomly selected members of the National Association of School Psychologists, each of whom completed a demographic data form, the Self‐Directed Search‐Revised (SDS‐R; J. L. Holland, 1994) and a modified short form of the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (D. J. Weiss, R. V. Dawis, G. W. England, & L. H. Lofquist, 1967). Only limited support was found for major constructs associated with Holland's theory, although the study found several significant relationships between 3‐letter SDS‐R codes and desired role function as would be predicted by Holland's theory.

It is shown that Fishbein's 'theory of reasoned action' can be used to explain people's intentions to wear seat belts. As Bentler and Speckart (1 979) have proposed, a self-report measure of past behaviour is shown to significantly improve the model's power; this extended Fishbein model being capabl
