A CRITERION-RELATED VALIDITY STUDY OF THE OASIS-2 INTEREST SCHEDULE

A total of 36 rising high school seniors who were participating in a s ummer program designed to encourage interest in attending college were administered the Self-Directed Search (SDS) and OASIS-2 Interest Sche dule. Correlational analyses identified statistically significant rela tionships between SDS and OASIS-2 scales. In most cases, scales one wo uld expect to find related to one another correlated significantly and at a level many would consider to be acceptable for establishing crit erion-related validity. Implications of the results for those practiti oners using the OASIS-2 Interest Schedule are discussed.
