The 16 Personality Factors Question naire, the Assessment of Career Decision Making, and a research questionnaire were administered to a sample of 231 students enrolled in freshman orientation classes at Grambling State University, Grambling,

Traditionally appearing in the October issue, the review provides a timely and reasonably comprehensive summary of the literature by a leading scholar. As the years passed, the amount of space allocated to the review has increased, but the number of articles reviewed has increased even more dramatically, and reviewers have been forced into a more and more terse style. In short, the annual review has become more and more like an annotated bibliography of the relevant publications in a given area. Most reviewers begin their work with the twin objectives of providing an exhaustive accounting of the research published during the review period and of critically analyzing the literature. Both tasks are accomplished only partially. While most are able to identify almost all of the relevant articles, the space available for the review does not allow publication of even a brief acknowledgment of every article. Critical analysis is even more constrained. The limited perspective imposed by a one-year period prevents analysis of trends, and the idiosyncrasies of the one-year period hamper efforts at integration. Furthermore, the terse writing style which is necessary does not allow an adequate description of the studies and the backgound information necessary to let readers understand the reviewer's reason for concluding that a study is flawed. In the absence of this, criticisms of identified articles come across as unsubstantiated judgments, unfair to the authors, the readers, and the reviewers. Thus, most reviewers find it necessary to limit critical analysis to a few instances. The annual review written this year by Scott Meier signals a significant change. I decided to establish a three-year rotation for annual reviews and I asked Scott to review research on decision making, vocational choice, career development interventions, and assessment. Instead of focusing on a single year, however, Meier has reviewed the literature appearing in 1988 through 1990. In future years, annual reviews will appear on (a) career development, lifespan perspectives, women's work force participation, and reciprocal work and nonwork relations and (b) per-129

For the most part the research reveals that the P-E fit model is valid. Indeed, the research evidence may understate the efficacy of P-E fit models because of sampling inadequacies, the use of fit indices to evaluate the models, and the lack of commensurate measurement, but these design flaws are offset to some extent by the confirmatory bias that has characterized P-E fit research. The literature also demonstrates that hexagonal congruence is not related to satisfaction or other important vocational outcomes and that Holland's (1997) circumplex hypothesis lacks validity. The lack of support for Holland's theory is not due to design flaws involving the sample size, the validity of the instruments used in the research, nor the validity of the fit indices used, but the lack of commensurate measurement in research investigating Holland's theory may be a contributing factor. The needs for further conceptual development, research using longitudinal designs, and the use of conceptually sound approaches to data analysis are discussed.

Dawis (1995) argues that studying the causes, attributes, and benefits of participants' psychological experiencing of leisure is more likely to advance knowledge of leisure's effects on participants than efforts that recapitulate the study of vocational interests. The conceptual relation of the construct of needs to interests and values is explained,
