Good morning I was wondering if someone can assist me in finding the correct response to the following questions:
1. According to Super’s theory, people are satisfied in their work choice to the degree that they are able to “fulfill life roles.” True or false
I selected false because people could implement their self-concept thought their work choice.
Super et al. (1996) assumed that an individual’s career choice was not merely the result of matching his or her abilities and interests to the world of work, but that it was an expression of the individual’s self-concept. Thus, people were satisfied to the degree that they could implement their self-concept through their work choice, thereby connecting with the personal meaning of their abilities, interests, values, and choices (Super et al., 1996).

2. People should search for a career in which they will be content for their entire working life. True False
I selected true because selecting a career that is satisfying will allow drive to continue working in that field.
3. According to Evans, Rotter, and Gold, the most vital aspect of career and life decision-making is the individual. True False
I selected False
Gold, Rotter, and Evans (2002) made a strong case that all career decisions are influenced by one’s family and culture.

4. Hansen's 6 tasks are all focused on a holistic view of career development. True False
I selected False
1. It seems to me that the t/f statement is just another way of saying what Super wrote. That would make it true, not false.
2. That may be true in Super's view. The fact is that most people will change careers at least once or twice in a 40-year span of "work life".
3. and 4. I'm not familiar with those authors, so can't comment.
The answer is in face True, not false.
Super et al. (1996) assumed that an individual’s career choice was not merely the result of matching his or her abilities and interests to the world of work, but that it was an expression of the individual’s self-concept. Thus, people were satisfied to the degree that they could implement their self- concept through their work choice, thereby connecting with the personal meaning of their abilities, interests, values, and choices (Super et al., 1996).
Regarding question 1, your response is correct. According to Super's theory, individuals are satisfied in their work choice to the degree that they are able to fulfill life roles, so the statement is false.
For question 2, your response is also correct. It is true that people should search for a career in which they will be content for their entire working life. Finding job satisfaction can provide motivation and fulfillment in the long run.
Regarding question 3, your response is incorrect. According to Gold, Rotter, and Evans (2002), the most vital aspect of career and life decision-making is the individual. Their research suggests that while family and cultural factors have an influence, the individual plays a significant role in making career decisions.
For question 4, your response is correct. Hansen's 6 tasks are not focused on a holistic view of career development; they are specific tasks that individuals should complete to enhance their career development, but they do not encompass all aspects of career development. Thus, the statement is false.
