Vocational interests of women: A factor analysis of the women's form of the SVIB

Abstract

The responses of 671 women-in-general to each of the 400 items on Form T400R were intercorrelated and factor analyzed using the multiple group method and a variation of Lawley's maximum likelihood procedure. Representative items for each of the resulting 9 common and 17 more specific factors are noted, and descriptive labels are suggested. The procedure and resulting information are seen as distinctly different from previous analyses. (26 ref.) (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
