Ten Difference Score Myths (2001, methodology): “The use of product terms as a substitute for difference scores is alluring, given that product terms analyzed hierarchically capture the interaction between two variables (Cohen, 1978), and the terms interaction and fit often have been used jointly, if not interchangeably, in congruence research (Ch”

Person–Environment Congruence and Holland's Theory: A Review and Reconsideration (2000, unknown): “The choice of a congruence index in a correlational study substantially affects the outcome of the study (Assouline & Meir, 1987; Meir & Tzadok, 2000; Tinsley, 2000).”

Updated Meta-Analysis on the Relationship Between Congruence and Satisfaction (2005, background): “Drawing on the research literature, Tinsley (2000) contended that although the person-environment fit model provides a valid and useful way of thinking about the interaction between the individual and the environment, the hexagonal congruence typology and satisfaction do not correlate significantly.”
Predicting Occupational Considerations: A Comparison of Self-Efficacy Beliefs, Outcome Expectations, and Person-Environment Congruence (2000, background): “Several researchers have noted the lackluster performance of congruence in predicting important career outcome variables (Swanson & Gore, 2000; Tinsley, 2000) and some (Tinsley, 2000) have challenged researchers to begin to look for competing or complimentary variables that”
