Several personality theories focusing on specific personality variables involved in career choice and job satisfaction are based on the assumption that individuals choose certain career choices because they believe that they may be able to meet their emotional needs (J. L. Holland, 1977). The author of this study investigated the personality traits of border police officers, career soldiers, and airport security guards in Israel. The participants were 160 men--40 border policemen, 40 career soldiers, 40 airport security guards, and 40 control participants--who filled out a demographic questionnaire and a Hebrew version of the right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) shortened scale (B. Altemeyer, personal communication, February 2000). The present hypothesis predicted that the RWA scores of border police officers would be the highest, followed by those of career soldiers, airport security guards, and control participants, in that order. Statistically significant differences in RWA scores occurred between these groups in the predicted order, with the exception of the career soldiers' RWA scores, which did not significantly differ from those of the airport security guards.
几种关注职业选择和工作满意度中特定人格变量的人格理论基于这样一种假设,即个体选择某些职业是因为他们认为自己或许能够满足自身情感需求(J. L. 霍兰德,1977)。本研究的作者调查了以色列边境警察、职业军人和机场安保人员的人格特质。参与者为160名男性——40名边境警察、40名职业军人、40名机场安保人员以及40名对照参与者——他们填写了一份人口统计学调查问卷和一份希伯来语版的右翼权威主义(RWA)简版量表(B. 阿尔特迈尔,私人通信,2000年2月)。本研究假设预测,边境警察的RWA得分最高,其次依次是职业军人、机场安保人员和对照参与者。这些组之间的RWA得分按预测顺序出现了统计学上的显著差异,但职业军人的RWA得分与机场安保人员的得分没有显著差异。
