Like others in his field of study, Super holds that even within a given society, different cognitive characteristics are emphasized from one situation to another and from one subculture to another. These differences extend not just to conceptions of intelligence but to what is considered adaptive or appropriate in a broader sense.^[2] Super calls for culturally- and contextually-based models of human development.
