A factorial study of the female form of the SVIB

Abstract

The female form of the SVIB was administered to 203 freshmen and sophomore female students in an introductory course in the University of Florida's College of Health Related Services. 29 scales were scored, intercorrelated, and factor analyzed. 9 factors resulted with loadings of ±.35 or more. The factors are discussed in terms of implications for female vocational interest and compared with previous factor analytic studies with the male form of the Blank. Groupings of occupations are presented, also, based on the factor structure of the female interests. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
