摘要

Lent(2003)的《工程领域问卷》评估了社会认知职业理论(SCCT)的主要组成部分，包括自我效能、应对效能、结果预期、技术兴趣和教育目标的测量。这些措施在之前的研究中显示出良好的内部一致性，但在非裔美国STEM学生中使用的验证信息更为有限。本文讨论了一项验证研究，该研究改编自Lent的工程领域问卷，名为STEM领域问卷，样本为非裔美国本科STEM学生(n = 526)。鉴于文化价值观和某些经验在非洲裔美国人的职业发展中的作用，验证STEM领域问卷对非洲裔美国人尤为重要。本研究通过探索性因子分析得出7个因子:工程/技术兴趣、结果预期、自我效能感、STEM应对、目标、生物化学科学兴趣/自我效能感、数学兴趣/自我效能感，其中4个因子为原量表。讨论了对研究和实践的启示。

Validating the Engineering Fields Questionnaire for Use With African American Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Students

Lent’s (2003) Engineering Fields Questionnaire assesses major components of Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) and includes measures of self-efficacy, coping efficacy, outcome expectations, technical interests, and educational goals. These measures have demonstrated good internal consistency in previous research, but validation information is more limited for use with African American STEM students. This paper discusses a validation study of an adapted version of Lent’s Engineering Fields Questionnaire, entitled the STEM Fields Questionnaire, with a sample of African American undergraduate STEM students ( n = 526). Validating the STEM Fields Questionnaire for African Americans is particularly important given the role of cultural values and certain experiences in career development among this population. Seven factors resulted from an exploratory factor analysis conducted in the present study: engineering/technology interests, outcome expectations, self-efficacy, STEM coping, goals, bio-chemical sciences interest/self-efficacy, and mathematics interest/self-efficacy, with four of six original subscales represented. Implications for research and practice were discussed.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Career Assessment publishes methodologically sound, empirically based studies focusing on the process and techniques by which counselors and others gain understanding of the individual faced with the necessity of making informed career decisions. The term career assessment, as used in this journal, covers the various techniques, tests, inventories, rating scales, interview schedules, surveys, and direct observational methods used in scientifically based practice and research to provide an improved understanding of career decision-making. The focus is not just testing, but all those means developed and used to assess and evaluate individuals and environments in the field of career counseling and development.
