A theory of vocational development.
Abstract
This chapter discusses a theory of vocational development, a theory inherent in and emergent from the research and philosophy of psychologists and counselors. Occupational choice is a developmental process, which takes place over a period of some 10 years. The process is irreversible. The process of occupational choice ends in a compromise between interests, capacities, values, and opportunities. There are three periods of occupational choice. A theory of vocational choice and adjustment would synthesize the results of research because they lend themselves to synthesis; it would take into account the continuity of the development of preferences and of the differences in the stages, choices, entry, and adjustment; it would explain the process through which interest, capacities. Values and opportunities are compromised. The chapter discusses the elements of the theory of vocational development. The term “development” is used rather than “choice,” because it comprehends the concepts of preference, choice, entry, and adjustment. There are many elements to a theory of vocational development.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
