Publication Die Bedeutung beruflicher Interessen und kognitiver Fähigkeiten für die Studien- und Berufswahl(2012) Päßler, Katja; Schuler, HeinzEducational and vocational choices demonstrate one of the most important developmental tasks in adolescence and early adulthood. Most adolescents experience difficulties and uncertainties making those choices. To successfully accomplish these important developmental tasks theories of vocational choice highlight the importance of vocational interests and cognitive abilities. This paper presents three studies that firstly analyze the relationship between interest and ability profiles, secondly investigate how vocational interests and cognitive abilities determine vocational choices, and lastly examine reasons why women and men differ in their educational and vocational choices. Implications for career counseling are discussed.Publication Berufsbezogene Kreativitätsdiagnostik : Entwicklung und Validierung eines Verfahrens zur Erfassung der personalen Voraussetzungen von Innovationen(2015) Palmer, Carolin; Schuler, HeinzResearchers and economists agree about the importance of creativity for both, individual and organizational success. Nonetheless, creativity is a enigmatic term. Despite promising findings for the predictive power of creativity, its nomological network remains still quite vague. Cognitive abilities, personality traits and motivational dispositions are commonly associated with creativity. In this thesis theories of creativity are reflected and constructs related to creativity and innovation (e.g., intelligence, personality, and motivation) are discussed. Further on common methods for the assessment of creativity are presented and new approaches for measuring creativity in an work-related context are provided. Finally, the development and validation of an instrument measuring the personal prerequisites for innovation is described.
