Which career development model emphasizes the significance of life span and life-space in career choices?

Holland's theory
Super's theory
Krumboltz's learning theory
Roe's theory of personality development

The correct answer is: Super's theory

Super's theory is recognized for its emphasis on the life span and life-space in guiding individuals through their career development. This model acknowledges that career choices are not static but evolve over time as people interact with various life roles and environments. Super proposed that individuals progress through different stages in their career development, which include growth, exploration, establishment, maintenance, and decline. Each stage is influenced by personal experiences and changing life circumstances. Additionally, the concept of "life-space" in Super's model refers to the various roles people take on throughout their lives, such as being a parent, worker, or community member. This holistic approach underscores how these roles impact career decisions and satisfaction. By focusing on both the life span and life-space, Super provided a framework that allows counseling professionals to help clients understand the dynamic nature of their career paths and how to align their career goals with their evolving life context.
