    (2012) Päßler, Katja; Schuler, Heinz
    Educational 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.
