Reliability and Validity of the Ego and Discomfort Anxiety Inventory
This article reports significant test-retest reliability scores for the Ego and Discomfort Anxiety Inventory. Positive significant correlations with the Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale supported the construct validity of the Ego Anxiety Scale. Positive significant correlations with the Costello-Comrey Anxiety Scale supported the construct validity of the Discomfort Anxiety Scale. The sample included 28 graduate social work students in a researc…
Development of the Ego and Discomfort Anxiety Inventory
This article reports on four studies regarding the development, reliability, and validity of scales to measure two forms of anxiety, ego anxiety and discomfort anxiety. In the first study 140 undergraduates completed fourteen items related to ego anxiety and discomfort anxiety, as well as the Self-esteem Scale, the IPAT Anxiety Scale, and the Hopelessness Scale. Principal component analyses produced two factors, each with five items that showed d…
Drama in Teaching Survey Research Methods
Theories of conditioning, modeling, and andragogy suggest drama's usefulness for teaching such topics as survey research methods to social work students. A randomized factorial experimental design compared groups of graduate social work students receiving materials presented in the form of a play or a lecture by two different professors. Initial testing indicated that the lecture by two different professors. Initial testing indicated that the lec…
The Development and Validation of the Macro-Practice Social Work Knowledge Test
The purpose of the study was to construct and to provide initial evidence of reliability and of content and concurrent validity for the Macro-Practice Social Work Knowledge Test which measures cognitive learning of Social Work students in the subject areas of policy, administration, research, and evaluation. The total (the Allitem) scale which measures overall knowledge in these areas was divided into subscales representing policy-administration …
Development of an Australian Version of the Rational Behavior Inventory
An Australian version of the Rational Behavior Inventory was developed by modifying 10 of the 37 scale items. Validity of the Australian version was supported by zero-order correlations in the predicted direction between scores on the inventory and on tests of self-esteem, dogmatism, and anomia for a sample of 74 Australian students in social work. The Australian version had a reliability of .70 as measured by Cronbach's alpha and coefficients of…
Validation Testing of the Rational Behavior Inventory
Two hundred twenty-two students at Michigan State University completed a questionnaire including the Rational Behavior Inventory (RBI), the Srole Anomia scale, Lane's Authoritarianism scale, a ten-item Dogmatism scale, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem scale— each of the last four scales having been described by Robinson and Shaver (1969). Students in this stratified sample were randomly selected from the student telephone directory. The validity of …
Correlations between Standard English and Dialectical Spanish Versions of Five Personality Scales
Although there have been increased attempts to provide bilingual, bicultural mental health services to Spanish-speaking residents of major Southwestern cities, little effort has been directed toward the development and testing of Spanish versions of easily administered personality scales for use in assessment, treatment, and evaluation. The Spanish versions of the five tests were developed for use as a part of a project involving native Spanish-s…
Development of the Rational Behavior Inventory
The purpose of the study was to develop a brief and efficient instrument for assessment, treatment planning, and evaluation of clients by counselors who use Rational Emotive Therapy (RET). Subjects were 235 undergraduate students. Eleven Guttman scales were developed following factor analysis. Each factor is measured by a Guttman scale with a coefficient of reproducibility of 0.90 or greater and with a coefficient of scalability of 0.60. Pre- and…
