Research questions/hypotheses
• In the original monograph outlining the framework of SCCT,
Lent et al. (1994) produced 12 sets of predictive propositions,
which gave rise to 32 hypotheses.
• The hypotheses tested in the current study were adapted from
the model of career choice.
• According to SCCT’s interest and choice models:
– self-efficacy helps determine outcome expectations;
– self-efficacy and outcome expectations are both precursors of
interests; and
– interests, self-efficacy, and outcome expectations jointly lead to choice
goals and choice performance (Lent et al., 1994).
