Differentiating the Interests of Mature Women: A Factor Analysis of the KOIS

Abstract

The scale scores of KOIS profiles of 202 reentry women were converted to within individual form by means of a z-score transformation. The z transformation was applied separately within the 56 female- and 106 male-normed sets of scores. The structure of the women's interests was examined by a principal components analysis. Seven factors emerged on the female-normed scales and eleven factors on the male-normed scales. Four factors were similar in both norm sets and two showed some overlap. Results are compared to Zytowski's recent analysis and implications of the results for interpreting women's KOIS profiles are presented.
