SCCT focuses on the individual personal meaning placed on career decision making events. SCCT explains how interests develop, how choices are mad, and how an individual self-evaluates. SCCT emphasizes the importance of self-efficacy, an individual’s perceived confidence in performing tasks, in our career decision-making process. Self-efficacy is hypothesized to “[mediate] between what [a person knows] and how they act and that person’s beliefs in their abilities…helps determine their actions” (Swanson & Fouad, 2015, p. 177). Self-efficacy is constructed by an individual from previous performance accomplishments, vicarious learning, social persuasion, and emotional arousal
