Construct Validity of the OASIS Interest Schedule

University of Texas-Austin

Donald Green

Kirkwood Community College, Cedar Rapids, IA

This study compared the Occupational Aptitude Survey and Interest Schedule (OASIS) scores of 135 community college students with different academic majors. Eighteen one-way ANOVAs were run with the OASIS subtests as the dependent variables and academic major as the independent variable. Students with mechanical-related majors scored higher on the Mechanical interest scale, students with business-related majors scored higher on the Business-Detail interest scale, and students with humanitarian-related majors scored higher on the Humanitarian interest scale than did other groups, providing evidence for the construct validity of the OASIS Interest Schedule.
