    Holland proposed that congruence between an individual's personality type and their work environment predicts greater career satisfaction, stability, and achievement.

    Krumboltz identified dysfunctional career beliefs (self-defeating thoughts) as a key barrier to career decision-making — such as believing any mistake is catastrophic.

    Answer: How children narrow career aspirations based on gender, prestige, and social class

    Gottfredson's theory explains how children progressively eliminate career options based on gender-role compatibility, prestige levels, and perceived accessibility — a process she called 'circumscription.'

  5. Which of the following career counseling inventories is specifically designed to assess dysfunctional career beliefs?

    Krumboltz developed the Career Beliefs Inventory specifically to identify dysfunctional assumptions and generalizations that block career development.

    Schlossberg's 4 S's model — Situation, Self, Support, and Strategies — does not include family birth order as a factor influencing transition adaptation.
