Gender differences in Holland’s circular/circumplex interest structure as measured by the South African Career Interest Inventory
The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the structural validity of Holland’s circular/circumplex model across men and women in South Africa and compare mean score differences in the people–things and data–ideas dimensions underlying the circular/circumplex model. The validity of Holland’s model was examined on a sample of 500 men and 500 women. The randomization test of hypothesized order relations, salience ratios, and t-tests w…
Operationalizing burnout in the Maslach Burnout Inventory–Student Survey
Burnout is conceptualized and measured as a three-dimensional construct consisting of emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and personal efficacy. Research suggests that the personal efficacy scale be replaced by a personal inefficacy scale. The purpose of this study was to explore (a) differences in the general factor saturation of the Maslach Burnout Inventory–Student Survey when efficacy or inefficacy items are included, (b) the strength of the corr…
Career Decision Self-Efficacy and Self-Directed Learning Among Women University Students
This study investigated the relationship between career decision self-efficacy and self-directed learning among Black and White women university students. Three-hundred and fifty-five female university students (211 Black; 144 White) completed the Student Self-Directed Learning Questionnaire and the Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form. The data were analysed to predict career decision self-efficacy from self-directed learning. Self-dir…
The Relationship between Mixed Model Emotional Intelligence and Personality
Mixed model emotional intelligence and trait measures of personality have been shown to be substantially correlated in the research literature. At the same time, mixed model EI seems to offer good incremental validity over and above personality. Previous research has used correlation studies and joint factor analysis to examine the relationship between EI and personality and found that EI loaded as a separate construct in personality factor space…
Measurement of Attitudes Toward Bisexual Men and Women Among South African University Students
Research was conducted investigating university students' prejudicial attitudes toward bisexual men and women in South Africa. The combined male and female Attitudes Regarding Bisexuality Scale (ARBS) showed unacceptable internal consistency reliabilities, especially for the Black-African participants. An expert focus group was convened in order to elaborate on and clarify the low reliability coefficients. The ARBS was then adapted for the South …
Attitudes Toward Bisexual Men and Women in a University Context
The aim of this study was to investigate differences pertaining to race, gender, knowing a bisexual person, religiosity and sexual orientation in relation to attitudes toward bisexual women and men in South Africa. The Attitudes Regarding Bisexuality Scale was administered. The reliability of the scale was significantly lower than desired for the sample of 1,459 university students. In an attempt to understand the sample's views on bisexuality, a…
The Relationship between the Big Five Personality Traits and Burnout in South African University Students
Research on burnout has tended to explore the organisational factors associated with this condition. However, an important factor that is often overlooked is the relationship between burnout and personality. We explored this relationship in South African university students. The participants completed the Basic Traits Inventory — Short, the Maslach Burnout Inventory — Student Survey and a biographical questionnaire. The results revealed several s…
Predictive Validity of General Intelligence and Big Five Measures for Adult Basic Education and Training Outcomes
This study explored whether scores on intelligence tests and personality questionnaires can predict performance in an adult basic education and training (ABET) programme. Participants in ABET programmes often have limited English reading skills, which make the use of conventional assessment tools problematic. A proposed solution is to utilise instruments that make limited demands on the use of language. Raven's Progressive Matrices (RPM), a well-…
