ABSTRACT

The main purpose of this research was to find the relationship between interest differentiation and interest consistency with career maturity. This research used a quantitative approach with 222 participants from Grade 10 school students in Jakarta. The instruments for data collection were career development inventories (Super, 1975 in Hinkelman & Kivlighan, 1998) and self-directed search questionnaires (Holland, 1997b in Larson & Borgen, 2002). The result of this research shows that interest differentiation has a positive and significant relationship with career maturity. Furthermore, interest consistency has no significant relationship with career maturity. This research also makes suggestions for further research and implications for practical purposes.
