Empowering Adolescents for Sustainable and Inclusive Careers
BACKGROUND: Adolescents must plan their educational and occupational futures in a context shaped by globalization, social inequalities, and environmental crises. Although career guidance increasingly emphasizes sustainable and inclusive development, empirical interventions integrating social justice, sustainability, and critical consciousness within established career frameworks remain limited. Drawing on the life design paradigm and the psycholo…
A Bibliometric Review of Natural Language Processing Applications in Psychology from 1991 to 2023
Natural language processing (NLP) has emerged as a promising approach in psychological research. However, prior reviews often focused on specific subject areas and reported varying findings regarding the use of NLP methods. To address this gap in the literature, we conducted a comprehensive review of NLP applications in psychological research. Our study includes (1) a large-scale bibliometric review of 4,909 papers (1991–2023) and (2) a focused m…
Development of vocational gender stereotype attitudes scale (VGSA) for adolescents
The study aimed to develop and evaluate the psychometrical properties of a new brief measure of gender stereotyping career attitudes. Participants were 222 early and 196 middle adolescents from Croatia. The Vocational Gender Stereotype Attitudes Scale (VGSA) consists of 12 items that represent masculine, feminine and gender-balanced activities obtained from the Personal Globe Inventory (PGI). The results showed the existence of the bifactor model…
Are Gender Differences in Vocational Interests Universal
The Incremental Validity of the sPaCE Scale in Predicting Treatment Outcome
We examined the validity of the Shorter Psychotherapy and Counseling Evaluation (Halstead, Leach, & Rust, 2007 Halstead, J. E., Leach, C., & Rust, J. (2007). The development of a brief distress measure for the evaluation of psychotherapy and counseling (sPaCE). Psychotherapy Research, 17(6), 656–672. https://doi.org/10.1080/10503300701235322[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]). Results supported incremental predictive…
Critical consciousness and intent to persist through college in Daca and U.S. citizen students

Development and Evaluation of the Gender Expression Attitudes Towards Transgender Clients Scale
Effective counselors recognize the diversity that exists in gender expression among transgender and gender nonconforming clients. To aid this understanding, we present the development and evaluation of the Gender Expression Attitudes Towards Transgender Clients scale. In Study I ( N = 300 trainees in helping professions), we found evidence of three adequately reliable factors: Emphasis on Assigned Sex Expression, Affirmation of Gender Expression …
Psychotherapy Expertise Should Mean Superior Outcomes and Demonstrable Improvement Over Time
How the field understands psychotherapy expertise is important. It affects how we practice and how we prepare others for practice. As in our other work, we argue that the most meaningful definition of expertise must involve steady improvement over time to achieve superior performance on some meaningful measure, which typically is client outcome. We also argue that the best means by which a therapist can achieve this is through ongoing deliberate …
Expertise in psychotherapy
It has been argued that psychotherapy is a profession without any expertise (Shanteau, 1992). We examine the validity of this claim, reviewing the literature on expertise, clinical decision making, and psychotherapeutic outcome assessment, and find it a reasonable assessment. There is no demonstration of accuracy and skill that is associated with experience as a therapist. We posit that this absence of an expertise-experience relation is attribut…
Variations in the Understanding of Interpersonal Behavior
The idiothetic structure of interpersonal trait perceptions was examined as it moderated the interpersonal rigidity-psychological well-being relation. The focus was on the extent to which individuals' perceptions of the similarity of interpersonal behavior fits (i.e., adhered to) the normative interpersonal circle. In two samples of college students, individual differences in adherence to the interpersonal circle moderated the relation of interpe…
The Intellectual Foundations of Education
Academic journals are the primary mode of communication among researchers, and they play a central role in the creation, diffusion, and use of knowledge. This article updates previous attempts to identify a core set of journals that most education scholars would acknowledge as consequential sources. On the basis of nominations from a panel of experts, 11 primary journals were identified; 3 of these— American Educational Research Journal, Educatio…
Moderators I Have Known
“Context matters” is an alternative title to this article. All moderation is about context; the surrounding matter that defines and affects most everything. Moderation refers to one entity—in our field this is usually a variable— associated with a change in the relation between two other entities or variables. An example of moderation would be the influence of amount of exercise to the connection between caloric intake and weight. Eating 3,000 ca…
Toward a fuller conception of Machismo
Structure of Interests in Japan
Japanese college students (N = 2,492) completed the translated Personal Globe Inventory (PGI: T.J.G. Tracey, 2002b) Occupational Tide scales, and the structural validity of vocational interests was examined. Support was provided for the RIASEC (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social. Enterprising, Conventional), octant, and spherical structure of the PGI Occupational Title scales. In addition, there were no structural differences found betwee…
The Relation of Cultural Mistrust and Psychological Health
The relation between cultural mistrust and psychological health was examined using a sample of 125 African American students. Results did not support the notion that mistrust of Whites is psychologically healthy but suggested that a moderate amount of trust of Whites is related to perceptions of personal well-being.La relación entre la descofianza cultural y la salud psicológica se examinó utilizando una muestra de 125 estudiantes Americanos Afri…
Helping and Coping Attributions
A measure of Brickman, Rabinowitz, Karuza, Cohn, and Kidder’s structure of helping and coping orientations was developed, and its relation to a variety of counseling variables was investigated. A sample of 202 college students completed the Attribution of Problem Cause and Solution Scale (APCSS), an additional measure of attribution, and measures of coping and self-efficacy. The findings indicate that scores obtained using the APCSS have sound re…
The Dimensional Structure of Asian American Acculturation
This study investigated the dimensional structure of acculturation for three prototypic groups of Asian Americans: those who were more Asian identified, those who were more American identified, and those who were jointly Asian and American identified. Three-way multidimensional scaling revealed a two-dimensional structure in which the first dimension consisted of language and culture domains and the second dimension contained cultural identity an…

Incorporating Idiographic Approaches Into Multicultural Counseling Research and Practice
Much of multicultural research has been based on normative methodological approaches. In this article, the authors discuss how idiographic approaches can be used to further explore issues that are relevant to multicultural counseling. Case examples are presented to illustrate how this approach can be used to improve understanding regarding the development of racial identity. Muchas de las investigaciónes multiculturales se ha basado en enfoques m…
Relation of shyness with aspects of online relationship involvement
Relationships that individuals develop using an online medium constitute a relatively new way of forming personal attachments with others. Researchers have only recently begun to explore online relationship involvement and the personality characteristics that may draw individuals to use this medium for relationship development. Although certain aspects have been proposed, including loneliness and social anxiety, to date only a few studies have ex…
Integration of Theory, Research Design, Measurement, and Analysis
The authors advocate using a reasoned argument to approach the research conceptualization process, wherein the different aspects of any study logically relate to each other. Specific focus is placed on the integration of four separate research components including substantive theory, research design, measurement, and analysis. A model of an iterative, logical choice process for making decisions about each of these components in relation to the ot…
Randall
In 1987, Hubert and Arabie proposed a randomization test of hypothesized order relations, and this has been operationalized in the Microsoft FORTRAN RANDALL program. This program enables the evaluation of the fit of any pattern model to a data matrix of similarities or dissimilarities. The exact probability of the model-data fit exceeding chance (as defined by a random relabeling of the rows and columns of the data matrix) is provided. This progr…
Examination of the General Factor with the Interpersonal Circumplex Structure
The relation of the general factor of the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP, Horowitz, Rosenberg, Baer, Ureno, & Villasenor, 1988) to several response set and personality measures as well its relation to the circumplex structure was examined. The correlation of the IIP general factor to the personality and response measures was examined on a sample of 105 undergraduates. The general factor was significantly related to a symptom severity me…
Counselor Interpersonal Power Base Preference
Forty counseling students were assessed on their power base (i.e., expert, referent, and legitimate) preferences, which were found to vary as a function of client problem, but not experience level
An examination of the complementarity of interpersonal behavior
The complementarity of behavior as moderated by the base rates of consequent behaviors, the differences attributable to friendly and hostile antecedent behaviors, and octant versus quadrant codes was examined. Complementarity was defined using 3 different but overlapping models: R. Carson (1969), D. Kiesler (1983), and J. Wiggins (1979). The Interpersonal Communication Rating Scale (ICRS; S. Strong & Hills, 1986) behavioral ratings on 80 female d…

Evaluating Holland's and Gati's vocational-interest models
and Implications Gati's (1991) conclusion that Holland's model was flawedand that his own three-g'roup-partition model of RIASEC typeswas superior is questionable on both empirical and logicalgrounds. To the contrary, we found considerable support for thesuperiority of Holland's model. The results of the three separateanalyses, each examining Gati's and Holland's models fromvarying perspectives, provide evidence of the superiority ofHolland's mod…

Distress and help‐seeking as a function of person‐environment fit and self‐efficacy
Self-efficacy, indicators of distress (state anxiety and frequency of physical symptoms), help-seeking (visits to the campus health center, an outside physician, and a counselor), and two measures of person-environment (P-E) fit were assessed on 152 college students and examined in a LISREL model. The two P-E fit measures were perceived discrepancy, the profile difference score between how each student would like their residence floor and how eac…

Natural and professional help
Differences in the helping interactions formed by mental health professionals, divorce lawyers, and mutual help group leaders were examined. Fourteen members of each of these three helper groups (N = 42) met independently with a coached client presenting marital difficulties. Using ratings of ability to ameliorate the personal and emotional problems presented, the 42 helpers were divided (using a median split) into successful and less successful …
Single Case Research
Single case research is proposed as a valuable means of involving counselors in the research process, providing feedback to the counselor and supervisor and gathering accountability data. Yet relatively little research of this type is conducted. One reason for this paucity of single case research is a lack of familiarity. If one is familiar with single case research, it is usually with case study methodologies and not with the intensive N of 1 de…

Factor Structure of the Non-Cognitive Questionnaire-Revised Across Samples of Black and White College Students
The predictive validity of the Non-Cognitive Questionnaire (Tracey and Sedlacek, 1984) has been demonstrated in past research; however, some of the scales of this instrument have been found to have relatively low reliabilities. In an effort to improve measurement, the NCQ was revised and the reliability and validity examined on black and white samples of college entrants. First, the fit of the revised NCQ to the eight hypothesized constructs was …
