Social Cognitive Career Theory in a Diverse World

Abstract

The purposes of this special issue were (a) to examine social cognitive career theory’s (SCCT) relevance to the career development of a diverse range of persons and contexts and (b) to encourage researchers to extend the theory to new cultures, social justice themes, and populations that remain underserved or understudied by vocational psychology. We believe that the range of populations and issues addressed in this special issue illustrate well SCCT’s current scope of applicability. In this article, we offer some final thoughts intended to further strengthen SCCT’s research base. We first comment on each of the articles, highlighting their implications for future research. We conclude by emphasizing a few larger issues that emerged for us across the set of articles and that point to additional directions for advancing research on SCCT within a diverse world.
