Time Out
INTRODUCTION: Research to understand the role of social media use (SMU) in explaining deteriorating adolescent mental health has been limited by broad, nonspecific measures of social media use, specifically 'time spent on social media'. These measures provide insufficient detail to capture specific risk and protective factors to users. METHODS: We conducted a scoping review of observational and experimental studies of the relationship between non…
Organizational resources, burnout, and work engagement of school counselors
The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of organizational resources and professional identity on school counselor burnout and work engagement. We performed structural equation modeling using a sample of 345 practicing school counselors. The results of the analysis showed that organizational resources for school counselors were significantly related to professional identity, burnout, and work engagement, while professional identity …
The Lived Experiences of Korean International Students in the United States
I Don’t Want to Be Stereotyped ”
Eighteen students, who self-identified as Latinx, from a rural, Midwestern community participated in this study. The participants were enrolled in their high school’s “Risk Academy,” a program designed for students labeled “at risk.” Data shared in this article stem from a larger study where we applied photovoice, a critical, participatory research methodology that utilizes participant voice and photography, to better understand the students’ sen…
Psychometric Analysis of the Survey of Perceived Organizational Support (SPOS-8) Using 1,005 School Counselors
Psychometric properties of the Survey of Perceived Organizational Support (SPOS-8) scores were examined with a national sample of school counselors (N = 1,005). SPOS-8 scores displayed good internal consistency (α = .92), one-factor structure, and convergent and discriminant validity. Measurement invariance was evident for White and racial/ethnic minority school counselors
Psychometric Synthesis of the School Counselor Self-Efficacy Scale (SCSE)
Results from a study (n = 1,005) using the School Counselor Self-Efficacy Scale (SCSE) and subsequent psychometric synthesis of 12 SCSE studies were presented. Aggregated total scale α was .96 (subscale αs ranged from .72 to .90). Structural models fitted to the data provided evidence of good fit for both 4- and 5-factor models
Psychometric Evaluation of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (Dass-21) in Senior Games Athletes
This study examined psychometric properties of scores on the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21) with a nonclinical sample of senior games athletes (N = 383). Information on the internal reliability, item-scale correlations, structural validity, and concurrent validity of the DASS-21 scores is provided to test its applicability to senior games athletes
Demands, resources, meaningful work, and burnout of counselors-in-training
This study examined the relationship between demands, resources, meaningful work, and burnout of counselors-in-training. The results of structural equation modeling indicated that demands and resources significantly predicted burnout of counselors-in-training, whereas meaningful work did not mediate the relationship between resources and burnout. Implications for counselor education are discussed
Counseling and Values Metastudy
Articles published in Counseling and Values: Spirituality, Ethics, and Religion in Counseling (CVJ) from 2000 to 2019 were analyzed for trends over time related to author characteristics and article content. Women now (2015–2019) compose more than two thirds of lead authors, about 90% of first and all authors are primarily affiliated with universities, and 12% of first authors from 2015 to 2019 are domiciled internationally. CVJ significantly inc…
Conducting a Cluster Analysis in Counseling Research
A cluster analysis is an exploratory research method that contributes to identifying homogeneous subgroups and examining the structure of targeted data. This article provides four steps for conducting a cluster analysis for counseling researchers and practitioners: (1) select variable(s) for clustering subgroups; (2) perform preliminary data processing; (3) determine the clustering method to use; and (4) assess the validity of clustering results.…
Meta-Study of Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development (Mecd) Publication Patterns from 2000–2019
Publication patterns of articles in Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development (MECD) from 2000 to 2019 are reviewed. Five-year windows are used to analyze trends in article content (i.e., topic, methods, samples, statistical procedures) and author demographic characteristics (e.g., gender, nation of domicile, names, employment setting)
Systematic Review of Psychometric Characteristics of the Sassi–3
This systematic review explores psychometric properties of the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory adult version (SASSI–3), the most commonly used instrument by counselors for assessment and diagnosis of alcohol and substance use
Selecting Suicide Ideation Assessment Instruments
Psychometric meta-analyses and reviews were provided for four commonly used suicidal ideation instruments: the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation, the Suicide Ideation Questionnaire, the Suicide Probability Scale, and Columbia–Suicide Severity Rating Scale. Practical and technical issues and best use recommendations for screening and outcome research are offered
Selecting Assessment Instruments for Problem Behavior Outcome Research With Youth
Using effect sizes from Erford, Paul, Oncken, Kress, & Erford (2014 Erford, B. T., Paul, L. E., Oncken, C., Kress, V. E., & Erford, M. R. (2014). Counseling outcomes for youth with oppositional behavior: A meta-analysis. Journal of Counseling & Development, 92, 13–24. https://doi.org/10.1002/j.1556-6676.2014.00125.x [Google Scholar]) meta-analysis for treatments of oppositional defiant disorder and Erford, Bardhoshi, Ross, Gunther, & Duncan (2017…
Attributional Style and Burnout of Counselors-in-Training
The authors examined whether attributional style could explain burnout among 201 counseling graduate students. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis results indicated that stability and globality of attribution explain a significant amount of the variance in counselor trainees' burnout. These findings suggest intervention and training should be used to promote a more flexible and positive orientation to handle stressful life events
Disruptive Behavior Rating Scale-2nd Edition-Parent Version (DBRS-II-P)
The Disruptive Behavior Rating Scale-2nd Edition-Parent Version (DBRS-II-P) screens for distractibility, hyperactivity, oppositionality, conduct problems, and anxiety. This study presents initial information regarding reliability and validity of this instrument with 4 samples of mothers and fathers of students 7 to 17 years old. Structural aspects of validity indicated a marginal to adequate fit of the data to the 5-factor model; external aspects…
Brief Psychometric Analysis of the Self-Evaluation Scale–Parent Report (SES–P)
The Self-Evaluation Scale–Parent Report (SES–P) assesses parents' perceptions of the self-concept of their children aged 7 to 17 years. Internal aspects of validity indicated a marginal to adequate fit of the data to both the unidimensional and hypothesized 4-factor model. The SES–P had excellent convergent and discriminant validity
The Self-Evaluation Scale–Self-Report (SES-S) Version
The Self-Evaluation Scale–Self-Report version was designed to assess self-concept in students aged 10 to 17 years. Coefficient α was.94, and test-retest was.87. A unidimensional construct emerged with strong convergent validity with scores on the Piers–Harris 2 (r =.77) and Self-Efficacy Self-Report Scale (r =.70)
Processes and Procedures for Estimating Score Reliability and Precision
Precision is a key facet of test development, with score reliability determined primarily according to the types of error one wants to approximate and demonstrate. This article identifies and discusses several primary forms of reliability estimation: internal consistency (i.e., split-half, KR–20, α), test–retest, alternate forms, interscorer, and interrater reliability
