Abstract

Social Cognitive Career Theory is an emergent theory in the realm of Vocational Psychology. A component of this theory is the construct of outcome expectations. This study proposes to explore and expand the Career Outcome Expectancy scale created by Larson (Springer, Larson, Tilley, & Gasser, 2001). The goal of this study is to assess whether an expansion of the scale to incorporate outcome valuation with the already-measured expectancy will enhance the measurement of the construct of outcome expectation. Further, a more adequate measure of the construct could provide additional and empirical support for social cognitive career theory (Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 1994) to which the construct is tied.
