Recommendations for Treating Missing Data in Counseling and Social Science Research
Trauma-Informed School Counselling Programs, Stress, and Related Predictors of Burnout and Wellness in a Sample of School Counsellors
School counsellor burnout and wellness are critical topics in the field of counselling. Both burnout and wellness are conceptualized as being reflective of individual characteristics (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity, stress) and organizational factors (e.g., time in supervision and consultation, implementation of comprehensive school counselling programs, district type, grade level). School counsellors also engage in trauma-focused work with student…
Making Meaning of Item Response Theory in Counseling Research
A Longitudinal Examination of the Psychometric Properties of the Counselor Burnout Inventory in a Sample of Professional Counselors Using Item Response Theory
What Counseling Researchers Should Know About Evaluating Person Fit
Item Response Theory
The purpose of this article is to discuss reliability and precision through the lens of a modern measurement approach, item response theory (IRT). Reliability evidence in the field of counseling is primarily generated using Classical Test Theory (CTT) approaches, although recent studies in the field of counseling have shown the benefits of using IRT approaches to explore measurement precision. We discuss the theoretical foundations and assumption…
Item Response Theory Analysis of the Cultural Humility and Enactment Scale – Supervision
Development of the Trauma-Informed Practice Scales – School Counseling Programs Version (Tips-SCP)
We evaluated the psychometric properties of the Trauma Informed Practice Scales – School Counseling Programs Version scores using item response theory with a sample of 270 school counselors. Participants ranged in age from 24 to 69 years (M = 42.82, SD = 9.96). Participants identified as female (81.5%), male (14.1%) or unreported (4.4%,). Participants' racial and ethnic backgrounds were: White (79.3%), African American or Black (5.6%), Multiracia…
Doctoral students' experiences of nondisclosure with their dissertation chair
We examined doctoral students' experiences of nondisclosure with their dissertation chairs. Using a hermeneutic phenomenology design, we analyzed two individual interviews of 10 doctoral students. We identified the following three themes: (a) the professional dynamics in the relationship, (b) the interpersonal and cultural dynamics in the relationship, and (c) prioritization of completing the dissertation. Implications for doctoral students and d…
An Exploration of Client Experiences in a Combination of Individual and Family Counseling
Researchers explored client meaningful experiences in a combination of individual and family counseling in this constructivist phenomenological study. The sample consisted of seven participants (three families) who ranged in age from 10 to 51. Participant racial/ethnic identities included two White, two biracial, and two Black. Participant gender identities included five females and two males. Two interviews per client family (one interview follo…
Trauma-Informed Supervision and Related Predictors of Burnout and Secondary Traumatic Stress Among Prelicensed Counsellors During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The Development of the Client Meaningful Experiences Scale
Item response theory was used to study the psychometric properties of the Client Meaningful Experiences Scale (CMES). In a sample of 306 adult counseling clients, we examined the dimensional structure of the scale, item-fit, and person-fit statistics. Implications of these findings for counselors, counselors-in-training, and counseling researchers were discussed
Development of the Trauma-Informed Practice Scales – Supervision Version (Tips-SV)
Using item response theory, we examined the psychometric properties of scores on the Trauma-Informed Practice Scales – Supervision Version (TIPS-SV) – a unidimensional measure of supervisees’ perceptions of their supervisors’ adherence to trauma-informed supervision – in a sample of 312 supervisees. Implications for research and supervision practice are discussed
A Phenomenological Exploration of Client Meaningful Experiences in Family Counseling
This is a constructivist phenomenological study of client meaningful experiences in family counseling where researchers employed two post-session interviews with each family. The sample consisted of six participants (three families) who ranged in age from seven to 47. Participant racial/ethnic identities included five White and one biracial and gender identities included four female and two male. Findings revealed the following themes: (a) counse…
Addressing Missing Data in Quantitative Counseling Research
Although many statistical procedures that are utilized by counseling researchers require complete datasets, the problem of missing data represents a common analysis hurdle that must be overcome. Typically, counseling researchers address the problem of missing data using listwise deletion; however, this procedure has some statistical disadvantages (e.g., unnecessary reduction in statistical power and unintentional introduction of bias). The most r…
An Examination of the Counselor Burnout Inventory Using Item Response Theory in Early Career Post-Master’s Counselors
We examined the psychometric properties of the Counselor Burnout Inventory (CBI) with 560 early career, post-master’s counselors. We tested the dimensional structure of the CBI, item ordering, and the function of the rating scale using item response theory. Implications of the findings for researchers, counselors, and counselor educators are discussed
Supervisor Cultural Humility Predicts Intentional Nondisclosure by Post-Master's Counselors
The authors examined supervisor cultural humility as a predictor of supervisee intentional nondisclosure. Using multiple regression in a sample of 101 post-master's counselors, the authors found that 20% of supervisees' intentional nondisclosure was explained by their perceptions of their supervisors' level of cultural humility
Examining Predictors of Counselor-in-Training Intentional Nondisclosure
This study explored factors that best predict intentional nondisclosure by counselors-in-training (CITs) during onsite supervision, including social judgment about one's supervisor, the supervisory working alliance (SWA), and supervisee attachment styles. Stepwise regression in a sample of 146 CITs revealed that the SWA and supervisee attachment avoidance predicted 60% of the variance in intentional nondisclosure
Environmental Risk Factors of California Encephalitis in Man
HE occurrence of encephalitis in humans is caused by several different kinds of arthropod-borne viruses and a variety of other complications resulting from either head injury or such infectious childhood diseases as mumps, measles, or chicken pox. Each year encephalitis affects hundreds of young children and a lesser number of adults in the United States. Generally explained as inflammation of the brain, not all cases of encephalitis are severe a…
