Publisher Description

ABSTRACT This study examined the relationship between student's perceptions of future extrinsic job choice outcomes and person-environment congruence in the selection of college curriculum. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression procedures showed a highly significant relationship between reliance on perceptions of person-environment congruence in major choice and satisfaction with major. Reliance on perceptions of future extrinsic outcomes was found to be a negative predictor of major satisfaction. No support was found for person-environment congruence being attributed a greater role in major choice than future extrinsic outcomes. The influence of family, friends, and educators was found to be correlated with reliance on future benefits factors. ANOVA results showed major switchers attributed more importance to easy coursework than non-switchers.
