Theory of circumscription, compromise, and self-creation.
This theory was developed to determine why children create social barriers before they every experience them.
Compromise involves making changes to career choices due to things such as gender, prestige, and interests.
Compatibility is determined when the client examines the perceived gender appropriateness, occupational prestige, and how well the career will meet client's needs and desires.
Circumscription occurs when certain unacceptable occupations are eliminated based on gender and prestige.
The circumscription process includes five principles:
1) The capacity of children to understand and organize complex information about themselves and the world around them.
2) Occupational preferences are linked to one's sense of self
3) Children begin to struggle in regards to distinctions among people
4) Children eliminate certain careers as their self concept gets more complex
5) The process is gradual and not obvious immediately
