Abstract
Since vocational selection is a critical individual decision-making situation, the stochastic models of human decision-making behavior developed in recent years should be helpful in the current efforts to formulate a theory of vocational choice (Meadow(4) and Super(6)). In the present report a theory of vocational choice based on a model of individual decision-making behavior under conditions of uncertainty and risk is sketched, and an experiment is described within this framework. Briefly, it is proposed that vocational choice is a decision-making situation in which risk plays a major role, and therefore, individual risk-taking tendencies determine, in part, occupational choice.
