"Hacia un Modelo Universal de los Intereses"

Abstract

Resumen

Los modelos de la estructura de los intereses basados en análisis factoriales no han resultado satisfactorios.  Varios modelos postulan las dimensiones de personas, cosas, datos e ideas, basados en la teoría de Roe, pero dicha teoría no ha recibido suficiente apoyo empírico.  Usamos la teoría del autor que sugiere las mismas dimensiones que Roe y ha tenido apoyo empírico, por lo que es una mejor base para un modelo de intereses.  El autor sugiere que los intereses son conceptos sobre actividades, los cuales surgen en la niñez como parte del desarrollo cognitivo.  Además, sugiere que estos conceptos pudieran ser universales, dado a que hacen referencia a aspectos de la realidad.

Models of the structure of interests that are based on factor analyses are not completely satisfactory.  Several models that use the dimensions of people, things, data and ideas, are based on Roe’s theory which has not received empirical support.  The author’s theory suggests the same dimensions as Roe and has obtained empirical support, which makes it a better base for a model of interests.  The author suggests that interests are concepts about activities, which develop during childhood as part of the child’s cognitive development.  Also, he suggests that these concepts could be universal, since they refer to aspects of reality.
