Dictionary of Vocational Psychology
Contextualism
A central construct in the theory of Young, Valach, and Collin (1996), contextualism refers to a theoretical orientation grounded in the contextualist world hypothesis of Pepper (1942) that emphasizes as its root metaphor the importance of the historical event with all of its connectedness to the whole in which everything influences everything else. The contextual theory of career emphasizes the complexity of interconnections and interrelationships bearing on actions associated with career.
