摘要：Vocational interests are an expression of personality that can reveal more or less predisposition to
creativity and pro-social behaviors Generativity is the concern with the welfare of the next
generations. This research investigated the relations between vocational interests and generativity in
two stages of adult life. The subjects were 415 men and 321 women, divided in early and middle
adulthood, with ages ranging between 25 and 45 years, and 45 and 63 years, respectively. The
vocational interests were classified through Holland typology. Generativity was measured by Loyola
Generativity Scale. The higher generativity scores of social and enterprising types confirm the
proposition that extroversion is fundamental to characterize generativity functioning as a strong and
positive orientation to the external world. The combination between conventional and realistic
interests characterizes people with limitations in creativity and social competence, resulting in lower
generativity.
