Answer to Question 1
This theory proposes that people's career choices are heavily influenced by their interests. The simplest version of this theory contains four factors: self-efficacy (your belief in your own ability), outcome expectations (what you think will happen in a given situation), interests (what you like), and choice goals (what you want to achieve). The six-factor model adds two variables: supports (environmental things that help you) and barriers (environmental factors that block or frustrate you). The six- factor model has received some research support. Social Cognitive Career Theory has been used by career counselors and life coaches to help people make initial
career choices and to navigate career changes over time.
Answer to Question 2
Children are routinely asked what they want to be when they grow up. The process of answering this question begins with developing an understanding of what certain jobs would be like and discovering one's interests and abilities. In adolescence, individuals continue to refine their ideas about what careers would be like given information they receive from family, friends, older adults, and the media. They begin to form expectations of what they want to be and when they want to get there. In adulthood, people work toward their occupational goals, monitoring and even altering them as they go along. People compare their progress toward their goals against their timetables for getting there. People modify their goals for many reasons including that the job was not a good fit for them, that they never had an opportunity to achieve the education needed for a particular job, or that they lack essential skills and cannot acquire them.
