本研究的主旨在考驗Gottfredson（1981）對於職業抉擇歷程中職業興趣、職業性向、職業聲望、與性別適切性相對重要性的論點，藉以驗證Gottfredson對生計發展理論的貢獻。本研究計設採完全隨機化重複測量多因子實驗設計，依變項是職業評量，自變項包括性別適切性、職業聲望、職業性向、與職業興趣等四職業評量標準，中介變項是情境的和刺激型態；其中，自變項的操作性家義乃根據模糊理論在Gottfredson的社會空間的建構的的應用。62名大學生的反應資料乃透過電腦程式蒐集，所得資料以策略評估和重覆量數多因子變異分析，比較四個職業評量標準相對重要性，並探討情境的刺激型態的對四職業評量標準相對重要性的影響。 研究結果發現：在設限與妥情境中，業興趣、職業性向、職業聲望、與性別適切性在職業評量上具有相似優先次序，其中，職業興趣、職業性向、與職業聲望在職業評量上的相對重要性相若，性別適切性的相對重要性則較前三者為小，種差異現象在假設性職業評量上尤其顯著，綜言之，本研究結果不支持Gottfredson的論點。 本研究提出兩個未來研究方向：分析群體特質與職業評量標準優先次序的關係，以預測不同群體中的優先次序；發展有效的價值澄清與價值評量方法，作為進一步考驗Gottfredson理論的基礎。

　　　　　This study was intended to validate Gottfredson' (1981) proposition concerning the priority of criteria used in the circumscription and compromise processes. A repeated measure factorial design wad conducted with the four criteria (compatibility with interest, compatibility with ability, prestige level, and gender-appropriateness) as four independent variables, condition and stimuli type as tow moderating variables, and occupational ratings as the dependent. The operational definition of four criteria was based on the application of fuzzy logic to Gottfredson's social space. Data was obtained from 62 undergraduate students via an author-designed computer program. A combination of the policy-capturing method and repeated-measure analysis of variance was conducted to examine the relative importance of the four criteria, and the moderating effects of condition and stimuli type on the relative importance of the four criteria. The major findings disconfirm Gottfredson's proposition. In general, the relative importance of compatibility with interest, compatibility with ability, and prestige level on occupational ratings are approximately equal, while the relative importance of gender-appropriateness is relatively small. Condition does not moderate the pattern of the relative importance of four criteria; however, stimuli type does. Future research is directed toward specifying priority for various populations as well as improving measurement on human value system.
