Life Stage

Super (1990) proposed five life stages (Growth, or childhood; Exploration, or adolescence; Establishment, or young adulthood; Maintenance, or middle adulthood; and Decline, or old age) through which individuals progress over their lives. Super (1990) also posits substages for stages. Two measures developed to assess an individual's progress through these stages include the Career Adjustment and Development Inventory (CADI; Crites, 1982) and the Adult Career Concerns Inventory (ACCI; Super, Thompson, & Lindeman, 1988). Closely related to Super's concept of career pattern.
