“…First, research specific to SCCT, which articulates the way in which domain-specific self-efficacy beliefs and outcome expectations shape interests and choice goals (i.e., commitment), has produced a plethora of empirical support since its formal articulation in 1994 (cf. Sheu et al, 2006). Second, the SCCT model has demonstrated its comprehensive theoretical and practical utility by explaining the career development of students and professionals in numerous fields including science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (Bakken, Byars-Winston, & Wang, 2006; Lent, Brown, et al, 2003; Lent, et al, 2005) and in domains such as the study of scholarly productivity (Bakken et al, 2006; Bieschke, Herbert, & Bard, 1998; Kahn, 2001; Szymanski, Ozegovic, Phillips, & Briggs-Phillips, 2007) and counseling and counselor training (Lent, Hackett, & Brown, 1998; Lent, Hill, & Hoffman, 2003; Sheu & Lent, 2007).…”
