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.
