D.V. Tiedeman: Career Decision-Making Theory



David V. Tiedeman and Anna Miller-Tiedeman: published theory in the 1960s

Career Decision-Making Theory

Descriptive: Describe or explain the choices that an individual makes when deciding on a career or some aspect of a career

Prescriptive: Focus on an ideal approach to decision-making

Deep respect for the individual and his/her uniqueness and complexity

Personal reality vs. Common reality
Personal reality: an individual's sense of what is right
Common reality: what others say an individual should do

Two major stages:
1. Anticipating: exploration, crystallization, choice, clarification

2. Adjusting: induction, reformation, integration
