RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RESPONSE STYLE O N THE STRONG-CAMPBELL INTEREST INVENTORY AND OCCUPATIONAL SCALES (FOR MEN) ' STEVEN F. BRODAY
University of Georgia Recently, Broday (1990) provided data on the relationship between female clients' response-style percentages and their scores on the Occupational Scales of the 1985 version of the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory (Hansen & Campbell, 1985). The present study repeated the same procedure for male clients. The Strong-Campbell was completed by 70 men who had sought career counseling at an university counseling service between June 1988 and June 1989. Their mean age was 24 yr., and 66% were undergraduates. The clients represented a variety of declared majors. The clients' total response percentages were correlated by Pearson's method with their scores on each of the Occupational Scales. The "like" responses were moderately correlated with scores on scales for school administrator (.73), YMCA director (.68), minister (.67), public administrator (.65), flight attendant (.63), recreation leader (.63), persome1 director (.62), executive housekeeper (.59), food service manager (.59), and nursing home administrator (.59). The "inuferent" responses were less strongly correlated with scores on scales for guidance counselor (-.44), marketing executive (-.40), psychologist (-.39), social worker (-.38), YMCA director (-.34), public administrator (-.33), chamber of commerce executive (-.32), public relations director (-.32), elected public official (-.31), recreation leader (-.31), and school administrator (-.30). The "dislike" percentages were moderately correlated with scores on scales for marketing executive (.58), nurse-registered (-.56), Navy officer (-.53), flight attendant (-.52), respiratory therapist (-.51), medical technologist (-,481, executive housekeeper (-.47), investments manager (.47), and nursing home administrator (-.47). These correlations indicate that high "likes" and low "indifferent" responses are associated primarily with leadership occupations and that low "dislikes" are related at least somewhat to health-related occupations. It is interesting to note that, for both men and women (Broday, 1990), high "likes" are associated with leadership occupations. These data can be useful to practitioners when interpreting Strong-Campbell profiles. REFERENCES BRODAY, S.
