Study Notes

Emotions and Thoughts

  • When anxious, it's essential to ask oneself: What are we afraid of?
  • Emotions can be categorized into various types, including:
    • LOVE: Acceptance, friendliness, trust, kindness, affinity, devotion, adoration, infatuation, and agape.
    • SURPRISE: Shock, astonishment, amazement, and wonder.
    • DISGUST: Contempt, disdain, scorn, abhorrence, aversion, distaste, and revulsion.
    • SHAME: Guilt, embarrassment, chagrin, remorse, humiliation, regret, mortification, and contrition.

Career Development Theories

  • There are four popular career development theories:
    • Trait and Factor Theory: Analyzes skills, values, interests, and personality traits, matching them with job factors or an occupational profile. Formulated by Frank Parson and E.G. Williamson in the 1900s.
    • Personality Type-Work Environment Congruence Theory: An offshoot of Parson's Trait Factor Theory, identifying six personality types that match six environments:
      • Realistic (working with hands and tools)
      • Investigative (conducting scientific investigations)
      • Artistic (engaged in creative form)
      • Social (interacting with people to educate, inform, etc.)
      • Enterprising (using verbal and persuasive skills to engage people)
      • Conventional (enjoys order, structured environments, routine)
    • Social Learning and Career Decision Theory: Based on Albert Bandura's theory of self-efficacy, which is the predictor of behavior. Self-efficacy is tied to motivation, the most important driver of career development.
    • Developmental or Life-Space Theory: Proposed by Donald Super, who theorized that people change careers during specific life stages as their self-concept matures. The five life stages are:
      • Growth (early childhood to early teens)
      • Exploration (early teens to mid 20s)
      • Establishment (mid 20s to mid 40s)
      • Maintenance (mid 40s to mid 60s)
      • Decline (mid 60s to old age)
