Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using as a framework the "theory of careers" developed by John L. Holland, the authors of this volume examine the patterns of student stability and change inherent in the college experience, as well as the variations in professional attitudes and behaviors of college faculty. Their goal is to learn more about what colleges and universities might do to facilitate the retention, satisfaction, and learning of their students. For example, why should faculties split over student-oriented teaching strategies, one group favoring the formal, structured classroom, the other a freer, more spontaneous environment? Why do some undergraduates become independent thinkers with strong analytical, mathematical, and scientific competencies while others develop powerful interpersonal and group leadership skills? Holland's theory--at its core a person-environment fit theory--assumes that there are six personality types and six analogous academic environments and that the educational persistence, satisfaction, and achievement of students are a function of the congruence or "fit" between students and their academic environments. The authors also assume that there are circumstances under which the environments of the major field exert more influence on students than do the students' own personality traits. Applying Holland's theory to distinctive clusters of academic disciplines, the authors have found that the answers to such fundamental questions as those asked above emanate from a basic understanding of the influences of academic disciplines and the manner by which they shape the patterns of thought and behavior of both college students and faculty. Academic Disciplines will benefit researchers and graduate students who study college students and faculty, as well as administrators and policymakers responsible for the performance of colleges and universities.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between personality traits and academic major change in two samples of college undergraduates. Utilizing a field study design, a total number of 859 undergraduates completed an online inventory that included the "Big Five" and other -related, narrow personality traits, as well as academic major change and various demographic variables. A number of expected and unexpected findings emerged. As hypothesized, the traits of Sense of Identity and Extraversion were significantly and negatively related to decisions to change major, but only for certain grade levels. Contrary to expectations, Career Decidedness and Optimism were significantly and positively related to academic major change across groups, regardless of class ranking. When parsing the data by college year, additional and significant relationships appeared. Extraversion and Sense of Identity were positively related to academic major change among freshmen, sophomores and seniors, which was a significant and unexpected finding. Conscientiousness, and Emotional Stability were unrelated to academic major change overall, but were significantly and positively related to students changing major at least one time. Among non-directional hypotheses, Work Drive was negatively associated with academic major change across all groups, as well as among juniors and sophomores. Openness was both positively (sophomores) and negatively (juniors) related to major change. A final analysis that looked at students who changed majors two or more times, both Self-directed Learning and Work Drive significantly and positively correlated with the dependent variable. Both Career Decidedness and Optimism increased the odds of being a major changer in a logistic regression analysis of a residence hall sample. Implications for career planning and advising are discussed, along with future research recommendations.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a sample of 114 college students studying education, specific relationships between satisfaction with major and Holland's (1997) RIASEC model of vocational interest themes, Five Factor Model personality traits, and a set of work based narrow personality traits were examined. The Big Five traits of Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Emotional Stability, Extraversion, and Openness, as well as the four narrow traits of Identity, Optimism, Tough-Mindedness, and Work Drive were examined. Contrary to the hypothesized result, Social scores were not significantly positively correlated with major satisfaction and the Conventional, Investigative, and Realistic themes were not negatively correlated with major satisfaction. As hypothesized, the Big Five traits of Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Emotional Stability, Extraversion were positively and significantly related to major satisfaction, as was Openness. Also as predicted, the narrow traits of Optimism and Work Drive were positively and significantly related to major satisfaction, as was Identity. A stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated vocational interests account for a non-significant 1.6% of variance in major satisfaction beyond what could be attributed to the other factors. The Big Five traits together account for a non-significant 3.9 % of variance, and narrow traits account for 1.9%, respectively, of the variance in major satisfaction beyond the others. This may be due to the relatively small sample size and the multicolinearity of the personality variables. There were, however, notable differences between the Big Five and narrow traits in terms of major satisfaction. The Big Five traits were generally more strongly related to major satisfaction than were the narrow traits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holland (1959) developed scales to measure vocational paths based on students' personality traits. The current study looks further into how the big five personality traits (Koseoglu, 2016) impact vocational choices based on Hollands' vocational scale (RIASEC). Intention to persist based on academic satisfaction and fit were also variables analyzed throughout this study. A survey was used to collect data on personality types among various majors at a single urban research institution in Northeast Ohio. The survey also included environmental fit measures regarding students' academic satisfaction and fit, and whether this predicted intention to persist. Results showed that some personality types were correlated with specific vocational interests. If a personality type was positively correlated with a vocational choice, it could be more likely a student would choose majors within that vocational path. If a personality type was negatively correlated with a vocational choice, that student may not be as likely to choose a major within that vocational path. It was also found that students were more likely to persist within their major if they felt satisfied both academically and environmentally within their major.
