The theory that addresses directly the fact that we each play multiple roles that change over time is called the Super’s Lifespan Theory. How we think about ourselves in these different roles and the requirements of them, as well as the external forces that may affect them, may influence the way we look at careers in general and also how we make certain choices for ourselves. Previous Experiences: Two theories that address factors related to our experiences with others in work situations previously are Planned Happenstance and Krumboltz’s Social Learning theories. Having certain positive role models and experiences in specific careers can influence the career sets we consider as options for ourselves.
