Description: Purpose. To determine if male and female nursing home administrators were distinct occupational groups using the SCII.

Method. The population was compiled from lists of administrators of nursing homes approved for contract by the Veterans Administration.

Research packets were sent to 1,164 male and 735 female administrators. Subsequently, 524 males (45%) and 320 females (43%) responded with scoreable SCII's. Of those, 354 males and 215 females were judged scale eligible by SCII criteria.

Findings. Females. A 65-item key with 18% differential between criterion and women-in-general groups resulted. Tilton overlap was 27%. Test-retest correlations were .87 (30-day) and .82 (3-year). Holland coding was EC (Enterprising, Conventional). Males. A 57-item key with a 17% differential and a 40% Tilton overlap resulted. Test-retest correlations were .84 and .82. Holland coding was ECS (Enterprising, Conventional, Social).

Conclusions. The SCII is able to collect and identify interests of occupational groups. Male Nursing Home Administrators and Female Nursing Home Administrators are distinct occupational groups, using SCII methodology.
