The present study was designed to examine Holland's hypothesis that person-environment congruence relates positively to academic achievement. The sample of 157 nontraditional premedical students completed Holland's Self-directed Search interest inventory. The students were enrolled in the Medical/Dental Education Preparatory Program, which is designed to increase the number of qualified applicants who are underrepresented in the medical profession. Using scores on Holland's inventory students were classified as congruent or incongruent. A cumulative grade point average and a science grade point average were calculated for each student. An analysis of variance supported Holland's Congruence-achievement hypothesis. Congruent students did in fact achieve significantly higher cumulative GPA and science GPA than did incongruent students. Implications for counseling and academic advisement as well as further research are discussed.
本研究旨在检验霍兰德的假设，即个人与环境的契合度与学业成绩呈正相关。157名非传统医学预科学生的样本完成了霍兰德的自我导向探索兴趣量表。这些学生参加了医学/牙科教育预备项目，该项目旨在增加医学专业中代表性不足的合格申请者数量。根据霍兰德量表的得分，学生被分为契合或不契合两类。计算了每个学生的累积平均绩点和理科平均绩点。方差分析支持了霍兰德的契合度-成绩假设。事实上，契合的学生在累积平均绩点和理科平均绩点上的成绩显著高于不契合的学生。文中还讨论了对咨询和学术建议的启示以及进一步的研究。
